How bad is the LAX 7ER? Pretty shocked to see it go junior to ATL

The days of new hire WB FOs is probably over, but you can still get a captain slot after a year.

FWIW, WB FO plug was ~71% on this snapshot. Will be interesting to see what the final results show.

I hear they are. They are not strictly staying out west. They start out with redeyes and eventually touch ATL, NYC etc and get all messed up. Airbus (baby bus ) trips are arguably the worst in the company.

Point of clarification for any brand New Hires or applicants. Based on this snapshot, you can (tentatively) still get a captain slot ~2300 numbers from the bottom (~85% system seniority), so because of massive hiring, pilots hired 1 year ago can (tentatively) be a plug captain. We are hiring about 1700 over the next year, and then much less than that a year from now. "Time to hold captain" will naturally stretch out as a result. Further, I would expect the junior captain system seniority to also rise as things settle out to a new/old normal, but that's JMO.

I still think so much is up in the air. If regionals don’t improve, that will drive more hiring at mainline and the like. Originally the rumor was much less hiring this summer and we’ve seen how that went.

Yeah I thought it was still 500+ just for retirements for end of the decade but I suppose in context of 17-2500 that is a lot less
