the most junior lineholder has about 150 pilots junior to him.
look at it this way, we're slated to hire 125 pilots this year to fill seats created by the delivery of the 8 CR7s we're getting. by that math, if you start class right now, you'll be close to being off reserve at the end of the year, but we'd need to hire more pilots for you to hold a line. maybe we'll get DoJets or some of the phantom RJs, but the 8 CF7s are all you can rely on right now.
that said, if you get junior manned onto the CR7, you're guaranteed to be on reserve at least a year. after that, you can bid back over to the 50-seater, where you might be able to hold a line. of course, anyone who was junior manned and is senior to you might be trying to do the same thing...
