I'm hoping to get on with Endeavor in June. Any guess as to when they'll start steering the majority of new hire classes towards NYC? I'm 33 so I probably won't be at the very bottom of class seniority and I'd like to avoid NYC if possible.

Why so horrible out of DTW and MSP? I thought jumpseat and boarding priority was superior at 9E. Unless of course, everybody is doing it and so it's a clusterfk.

With -200 and -900 in all bases going forward, bid for the -200 in your choice of base. Once you hold the base you want on the -200, bid the -900 in the base you want once you DO hold a LINE there.
DO NOT bid for an aircraft over a base. Get your base, then seniority, THEN the aircraft. The -900 is nice, but a line and easier commute will result in higher pay and QOL. Same with upgrades. Too many folks are concerned with the AC and completely miss QOL and pay in the process. 75 hour guarantee on reserve for the -900 makes far less net compared to a line on the -200, with more days off to boot. It's the same type rating folks. We aren't talking a B747 vs C152 here.
I'll bet $20 that in 12-18 months, it's all one category (dual qual) and Co-domicile in NYC anyway. Fly the -200, move to the -900, and take the first upgrade. If nothing else, when you sit in the left seat, everything is familiar.

Guys/Gals don't worry about where you will be based out of training. Within 3-6 mos you would be able to hold any of them. As you get hired a FO upgrades, opening up a (senior) slot from MSP or DTW. Attrition 20-25 CA's/mo. plus 1.5 new ac/mo 12-14 CA. that's 30-40 fo's upgrading per month.

Correct? Starting Monday. Thanks again!
Also, I should mention that holding a line is more important to me than having MSP right off the bat.

If you want MSP because you live near there, I would try to get MSP in either aircraft over having a line quickly. Having a line quickly is nice, but it can't make up for the amount of suck that commuting to reserve is versus being on reserve in base even if it's for a longer time. If you're commuting either way, then go for what will get you a line quicker.
