Yes, but it is fairly senior right now, should start growing as we add cities this year.

any chance the jfk base will grow? or how long would it take a new hire to get jfk?

 

[cmrflyer]

dont think the kennedy base will grow, and it is pretty senior, a lot of those guys will be upgrading and that will give the junior guys a shot at getting it.

JFK doesn't seem likely to grow, but the upgrades result in a decent turnover for the FO's The junior JFK fo is approx 86 out of 180-ish FO's

There is... 10 crews.

Junior FO in LAX is in the bottom 10%

 

[bgaviator]

so how's VA doing anyways? They going to be here for the long run?

 

[Mud]

VA is adding three cities (plus Toronto and Orlando) this year, got a class of 8 in July, 16 in August, and 16 a month thereafter. 18 additional jets by end of 2011 with more beyond...so it seems we will go a bit longer. As for the "long haul", who knows, still haven't reported profitability but internal talk is that its happening as we speak. But we all know talk is cheap, and anything can happen in this industry.

 

[lanilila]

Is there a good chance of getting LAX out of class? How commutable is the first and last day of reserve if based in SFO? I thought I read 12 days off a month on reserve? Thanks

Move on? From what ? My opinion? I thought we can have an opinion here. Sorry it hits you where it hurts. I know working for a loser is hard you personify that with your pathetic appeal. Sorry about that. Maybe it's time for you to move on.

I see nothing in yours.

You know what I'm talking about, the true reason for your bitterness. Maybe you should go spend some more time with your "family."
