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.
 
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...
