It's the most senior base we have. Plan on 6-8 months after date of hire to hold it. Plan on 1.5 years to get off reserve, and I'd estimate 3+ years to hold captain assuming we keep growing.
All of the above is estimation, and should be treated as such.

I've been hearing of something that just doesn't sit well with me. Although this is something I don't need to worry about at this point, it is still wrong. If you are a DFW FO, and you upgrade to the E-Jet, AND you wind up getting the sim in DFW, the company expects you to find your own hotel for a month, since DFW is your base still. What if you are a commuter?
If this is true, just another reason to not come here.

(Shrugs) There are people here that thought CLT would never close. It mat happen or it may not. If you try to read the tea leaves too much you'll drive yourself crazy. Just pick what will make you happy, and then pick what you'll tolerate if it doesn't quite pan out the way you wanted it to.

Nobody knows PHX's future 100% for certain, but it'll probably stay around a while. The issue is it's wedged geographically right between LAX and DFW, so it's somewhat redundant. That being said, LAX is maxed out on space and they're still filling flights out of Phoenix, so it has some health. The latest I've heard is there will be a small drawdown in mainline operations and a small uptick in regional operations out of Sky Harbor.
From what I've heard recently, it can be had sooner than six months, and definitely not 1.5 years of FO reserve. Maybe 2-5 months. As for Captain, 10+ years currently. Phoenix Captains are widely considered lifers. Don't plan on it ever happening, you'll get hired elsewhere before you ever have the seniority.

Standing Bid is out--I'm thinking this will be one of the last couple of vacancies where we see <1 year upgrades for IAD CA.
They've pretty much cleared all the "previous 1,000 hours 121" guys from the FO list with this one. I predict 2 years average seniority to hold EJet CA for the next couple of awards, and then it's going to climb and stabilize around 3-3.5 years (EJet) and 2-2.5 years (IAD CRJ).
