The list also exploded in size. We went from about 12,400 pilots at merger down to almost 10,000 pilots, then back up to 16,000 pilots. Did this by hiring 2,400 in one year. That lead to 6 month upgrades. The list will eventually stop growing and eventually shrink. I would bet we see furloughs in 10-15 years when the retirements slow down. We have been extremely fortunate to not have involuntary furloughs in over 15 years.
You need to be about 25 percent on overall list (4000 number) to hold 50 percent narrowbody captain anywhere but New York.
That’s a lot of years to be junior. Some with young kids will miss everything. Will be numerous divorces. It’s almost golden handcuffs.

I'm guessing you are either in ATL or MSP.

Someone mentioned it earlier today and I can’t find it for some reason but DTW350 used to be at like 250 pilots per position. What happened? The only route we don’t do is DTW-PEK. We have only 140 FOs now on that. Anyone know if I’m missing something?
Edit - It’s also doing CDG now too. Not sure if they did that before COVID. I just don’t understand how we are ~65% pacific when we are doing more South Pacific than ever and all of Asia is back expect Beijing.
