Do anybody have a current(ish) list of the junior line numbers at each base/seat/type?

For a little added info, 717/737/320/MadDog and the 757/767 are typically the most junior positions in all bases. At a little over 2 years in I can't hold 777/330/350 anywhere but could be high as 24% or 33% on the A220 SLC and 717 NYC FWIW.

Thanks, appreciate it, and absolutely understand that getting hired is step 1 and I’m asking about step 96. Having said that, any idea what the junior line # to Captain on the 73N/320 is at any base? I’m assuming that the current fleet dynamics in the MD/717 world aren’t the norm and a new hire shouldn’t expect the ability to bid CA as soon as some of the current junior lines.
Don't think anything exists other than 3rd party stuff where you need a login/emp #. The junior aircraft and bases are scattered in threads here not too hard to discern overall, concentrate on the job first then worry about the other stuff.

Its a continually moving target. For example in 2017 LAX 73NA went down to about 3 years to get an A bid. Well now two years later the bottom Pilots on the 73NA are still the same Pilots - so now it is almost 5 years.
Not counting the MD which is going away we are probably going to be looking at 3-5 years for 717A and C220 A's and probably 5-7 for 737 and 320s.
I personally think upgrades bottomed out with the May 2017 MOAB and are now slowly working there way up to more historical norms. Remember there have been 4000 Pilots hired in the last 4 years and probably more than 3000 of them are still FOs - how they bid will determine upgrade times.

Quick random question - normal X-days, there's the tidbit about having to call to get released from on call if you're a long call reserve at 1200 base time. Is there a scenario where they could call and assign a trip that reports on a normal X-day? I thought "soft" X-days could only be violated in the case of IA, GS, and reroute, am I wrong? Thanks.

Basically correct. The steps of coverage for the long and short notice ladders are in Section 23 N. and O. A long call reserve pilot whose X-days would be interrupted is a step in the coverage ladders, but there are a bunch of steps before that, including reroutes and GS.
