Junior Bases

[avratdwc]

Hey everyone, happy holidays.

Can anyone recommend an online source to find out junior bases for all the airlines that are typically discussed here. Outside of asking the question here and eating up threads I dont know if a webpage, blog whatever is managed by someone who is in the know. Might be a good thing for all of us that are looking at making a change.

Thanks in advance,

Avrat

Please, we can eat up some threads here... there's tumbleweeds drifting through this forum.

NYC is usually a pretty junior base for every airline that has it.

Southwest is the opposite of many airlines. As you travel west most bases get more junior as opposed to many airlines that seem to grow more senior the farther west you travel. Oakland is traditionally the most junior F.O. base followed by Las Vegas and Phoenix.

Delta:

NYC is most junior - 717, MD88/90, A320, 737, 757/767 in about that order. New hires going to all those positions.

ATL has junior positions on the 88, 717, A320 and 737

DTW has junior positions on the 717, on occaision 737, A320 and 75/76

SEA and CVG are elephant burial grounds.

Junior at JB is JFK and BOS on both fleets. Upgrade going to 3.5 years in JFK and BOS on the 190. 4 years in the 320. LGB is our most senior base overall. Will take 15ish years to hold weekends off as a Captain there.

Hawaiian - junior base is Honolulu. Senior base is Honolulu too.

A year from now Hawaiian's most junior base is Oakland, vegas, and Phx

And Hawaiian pilots will still be the Captains and FOs in all the widebodies.

Not if the Corndog union has anything to do with it. They want everyone to start over as FOs, and maybe even get re-interviewed or be back on probation...

Anybody...

UAL and AA?

United:

NYC most junior (EWR/JFK/LGA) with new hires going to the A319/320, B737, and the B756(Rolls Royce 757-200/300 & 767-400) along with the 76T (757-200/767-300)

New hires quickly getting vacancies on 737 in SFO and A320 in IAH in less than a year. Within a year or two LAX/ORD on 737 and IAD/SFO on A320. 757/767 categories taking a bit longer to transfer into for new hires stuck in NYC

Being that we are a small group, we've been aware of the merger possibilities for years. We won't roll over.

AA.....MIA is the Junior base.....lots of 737 and Airbus slots. Occasional DFW MD80 slots (was real busy til about 3 months ago). Guys have held ORD and LGA a couple months out of training. They were hiring in 757/767 in MIA but hasn't happened for around 4 months.....hopefully soon.

I know Jim, I'm just throwing it out there. My friends at AT were stunned at their outcome. If you guys do merge someday with someone, hopefully arbitration will occur, which I think is most fair. An outsider or group of 3 with nothing tied to either company probably do have a good view of what would be fair. That's what it comes down to. Take care.

Good lord guys- you're ridiculous
It was a joke based on previous threads-
Sorry for the drift - it ain't happening, so don't worry about it

It's only funny until it happens; then it's hilarious, because no one meant it.

I guess you didn't see the joke that was the "Bloch award" from the Mesaba, Pinnacle, and Colgan merger. uke:
