In reference to the new captain and pretty new FO in PHX, the story is they were waiting for the gate crew, and in an attempt to reposition, they struck the winglet of a 757 with the left horizontal stab leading edge.

I figured the first "rookie" mishap would be this winter, when these newbie Captains with right at 1,000 hours 121 SIC have to bring an EJet to a stop on a slippery runway/taxiway in DCA or wherever--never fathomed it would be a taxiing mishap, in PHX, in daytime VMC

No not necessarily. There are a handful of PHX & West Coast guys who just do this job for kicks while their wives make the big bucks, for whom the downgrade might be favorable, QOL-wise, to a commute to IAH/DFW.

To be honest I didn't get it either. I'm surprised no one did a FOIA to the port authority or whoever to get the security tape... If their is one.

I was the middle guy in my class to get off IOE, even though I'm the least senior in my class. Within 12 hours of being off IOE I had a line. Since there are still more senior guys in class waiting to get done IOE, could that bump me into reserve in June?
From talking around there are a few guys who will be done IOE before the June bid closes, but most won't be, if that matters

If you look at the final bid awards for the current bid on the pilot lounge, that will give you an idea of where you will sit in regards to getting a line or being on reserve for next bid.
