For 07-05 I had seniority number 450 in my mind but didn't have the courage to post it. Turns out I was pretty close. I would imagine 07-06 will run down to around 475 with a lot of filling in the gaps between the low and the high side.
It looks like senior guys and gals are going to take either the 900 or 200, what ever comes first. Why not since there is not much of a pay difference and if all the 200's go to MSP you would be sitting pretty on that list vs. only 6 or so 900's to MSP then they start filling in DTW and MEM with the next 15 A/C or what ever it is. Which could leave a senior dude on the 900 with reserve in MSP for a while making about the same as a line holder on the 200 with people below you, and possibly a better schedule with more scheduled days off. My gut tells me once the senior dudes realize quality of life might be better on the 200 they will push the union to work out a deal with the company to operate the two fleets as one which could be a win win for everyone. (Of course I mean with appropriate pay over rides)
As far as junior upgrades now might be the time to take advantage of it. Once summer is over it may go more senior for a little while. Politics a side its just nice to see some rapid movement for a change, almost too good to be true. (tomorrow is Friday???)
