CAL Houston

[Phrogs4ever]

For someone hired this summer, about how long would it take to get Houston as a domicile?

 

[calfo]

Pretty good, I'd think. Here's the most junior seniority numbers at the various domiciles:

EWR 777 FO: 4360
757 FO: 4341
737 FO: 4356

GUM 737 FO: 4366

IAH 777 FO: 3230
757 FO: 4355
737 FO: 4365

CLE 737 FO: 4364

Most of the expansion has been in the 757/767... bid accordingly.

What about the 767?

 

[calfo]

75/76 - same thing as far as bidding goes. Same type rating, same bid position.

Anybody that junior holding 777 FO can expect to be near the bottom of the list for quite a while, I would think. There'll be all kinds of people coming in on top of them once the retirement bubble hits in a year or so...

Why would anyone in their right mind want to be at the bottom of CAL's seniority list right now? They are still losing big $$$ and it is inevitable that they will have to have more concessions/furloughs. But you can tell your friends down at the flight school that you did work for a major for awhile!

So you expect that 25000 regional pilots and a few thousand separating military guys will hold out exclusivley for FedEx, UPS, or SWA? Those three will hire a total of 100 or so per month, so it'll only be a 21 year wait for the young guys. In the meantime, we'll take our chances
