Good to hear about first year pay, sure way to help keep the current seniority list from sliding back down the list.

What is Junior LAX Bro line holder schedule like? I hear reserver is short almost anywhere on the Bro, is that true?

Just depends really. There are guys that have been here 7 months on reserve in LAX, and will probably be reserve for a few more months. To some that's not a long time but for others it is. I sat reserve for only two months in Fresno and have held a line since.

Junior line holders tend to get the left over shorter trips, locals and two days or lower credit four days. It really depends on our trip mix. A couple of months ago we had stand-ups and a lot of locals that made the natives restless so the trip mix changed towards more three and four day trips. The longer trips tend to go more senior to minimize commutes and drives to/from. Reserve is most definitely shorter on the Bro than the RJ.

Interview complete. If you're applying there, HAVE YOUR CRAP TOGETHER FOR THE INTERVIEW. Make sure you go pay for and do several simulator rides before you go. At least 3 guys did not make it through the interview process due to the sim, and there were good dudes. There's plenty of gouge out there about the technical questions, both on the test and in the interview - know that stuff cold or don't even bother showing up. They're not just taking whoever shows up.
Even I fell victim to the mighty Frasca. Everything else went great but I made 1 stupid mistake, actually 2 really dumb mistakes in the sim & that was it.
I had big hopes on SKW & I am really very disappointed now.
So to all the aspiring people, do not take this interview lightly if you want to get hired here...

Match point, what do you have to say about the "get current and bail" post by no pants. I am afraid of a tremendous amount of money wasted.

I think it's 5 gone from my new hire class none have moved on to another airline besides 1 to a major. I guess my idea of attrition isn't those who just up and quit because the job isn't worth it, because I've seen dozens of those leave in my last 3 years.
