I am shocked at how JR PHL went.

Didn't go junior by choice, this award only went to the ppl being displaced.

I've seen posts saying that all bases are junior or are becoming junior, which is nice, but can anyone share what the breakdown by base is for how long it is currently taking to hold a line?

The way things are moving I can't see anyone waiting more then a few months for there base of choice.

Thanks, but to be clear, that goes for holding a line in that timeframe as well?

Based on the trend for the last few months. You'll be holding a line in less than 4 months if not sooner in all the bases.

Good to hear, thank you.

On an unrelated note, I tried digging back a few pages to see if it has been answered and didn't come across it, but are the jet payrates in LOA19 (on page 5) correct? That seems to be an awfully big disparity in pay between the current Dash FO rates and the listed jet FO payrates. If offered the choice, going to the Dash is a no-brainer just from the pay aspect alone.

It's not like we are talking that much of a pay difference when it come to QOL.

Any update on the chances of a new hire getting a PHL base in the Dash? How about the ERJ??

there's really no definitive way to determine that right now, odds should be decent though

PHL dash went Junior. Just read above and it will tell you. Plus remember with the Flow Thru each month People are leaving so your QOL and getting your base of choice will happen faster then many regionals.

The first few RJ's will go senior, then it will really get junior and fast. Many people won't bid off the Dash for many reasons. Living in Base is the most important, Many within a year of flowing because they don't want to be seat locked.

My advice if you want to come to Piedmont is GET IN NOW!!!! DON'T WAIT.
