delta upgrades?

[General Lee]

Wow, and you claim to have a wife. So a liar and a cheater. You are one worthless piece of skin

Yes, I'm Freebrd's dad. He was and still is a terrible child, and the sex with his Mom is still horrible.

Thanks!



Bye Bye---General Lee

Well, that explains his mental retardation

We had to hold him back in Kindergarten until he was 15. It's been a struggle, but I was proud that he got an RJ SIC job in Vietnam when he was 29. Low standards over there, but it got him out of the house!

Latest Bid results had 245 new capt awards, and the most junior Capt was over 9200 on the list, which converts to a Sept 2000 hire.

I suspect that you will see 2007/08 hires as capt's within a year maybe a year and a half tops. Its less than 1000 numbers away from them now.

I just peeked at the award posting - the availability of equipment and bases for junior pilots looks wide ranging. Pleasantly surprised.

ACL, think you'll go for the upgrade once its available to you?

Do you have a good idea when the next AE is slated for?

Thanks in advance.

Any idea how quickly one could advance to the right seat of a 'premium' widebody (A330, 765, 777, 744)?

 

[Jiminmem]

Left seat in most narrow bodies is junior to those aircraft in this bid, so still a while.

Not necessarily. 1998 - 2000 hire, depending on which side of the merger you came from.

For those that don't know, there is a DOH disparity throughout the list depending on which side of the merger you came from, so using that as a touchstone will yield inaccurate results.

NOT saying this to start a SLI debate, but it is what it is. The gap fluctuates depending where on the list you are, and sometimes it's plus, sometimes minus. It can be a couple of months, or a couple of years.

That said, a better picture is painted by overall percentage. Junior upgrades now are in the 80th percentile, but only in NYC on the MD88.

Other bases, even on equipment that pays less, it is in the high 60's to low 70s.

Assuming "junior CA equipment" is the 717, MD88, A319/320 and maybe the 737, the upgrade percentiles on the last bid that was awarded was:

737
ATL 29
CVG 21
DTW 65
LAX 29
NYC 73

A320
ATL 58
DTW 49
NYC 75

MD88
ATL 72
MSP 68
NYC 80

717
ATL 72
DTW 68

Going from 757/767 FO to MD88 Captain is probably a $30-40k pay raise, and probably more work with less QOL, and if at the bottom of the upgrades, you'll go from holding a decent line to reserve.

Junior 330/767-400/777 FO positions are floating around the 70-80 percentile. 747-400 FO spots are in the mid 60's.

What this says is that widebody FO slots TEND to go senior than NB upgrades, for a variety of reasons. The large delta in NYC is because commuting to reserve NB generally has a sub-optimal QoL, and commuting to reserve in NYC even more so.

Just depends on what you want.
