That is not the whole pic though. It is only the very bottom few positions that are that junior. It quickly goes to 99 DOH and then a majority of the CA positions on the 190 are late 80's/early 90's DOH.

That said there aren't many numbers between late 80's doh and people getting hired now. Say 1000ish. Due to the fact that hiring really stopped here after gulf war 1 and most of the 99-2000 hires didn't return. And except for the few CEL (about 75 left) that came from the WO'd in 2004 and 100 that were hired in 07/08 the list quickly gets to guys with 20 plus years.

All together 1000 times better than the past 10 years at this airline and industry as a whole.

The next bid will open the gates though. Every FO on the West can hold captain on the East.

C'mon Abe, lets not turn this into a war zone. I'm not saying that can't or won't happen, but let's look at what we know is going on now for the new hires.

Did you ever meet Scott "NO" Kirby?

Yup, he blows a lot of smoke in the crew news. When there is an injunction on his ass, he won't be saying NO anymore..... Path of lease resistance. They want this merger done and us few west pilots keep standing in the way.

Just keep reading your USAPA updates , they tell you all you need to know.

Sure, with the Nic implementation, next week right?

Why wait, every furloughed FO from the West can already hold Captain on the East on the current bid.

No one will be displaced or downgraded.

Unfortunately, this is true. The East has captured around 100 upgrades in return for losing Billions of dollars since 2007. Not the smartest pilot group.
