DVR is being updated still, but so far no vacancies in west coast bases anticipated besides a few more in BOI and SAN....does this mean transfers out of SFO, SEA, LAX and PDX will result in shrinkage of the seniority list in each of those bases ? In other words BOI and SAN were simply robbing Peter to pay Paul?
E175 orders are fulfilled as of July...

Yes. All the 175s have been delivered so any new base that opens up dilutes the flying from the other existing bases.

This airline has grown by 1000 pilots.
Peter wasn't there yesterday.

Best for jet for Seattle or nearest SEA?

How long wait for class date CRJ vs ERJ?

ERJ.

SEA ERJ= 79 FOs
SEA CRJ= 35 FOs

ERJ in SEA is more junior on the FO side.

Why do people religiously still listen to the DVR? Multiple months they'll say like 30-40 openings and then transfer 80+ people and double digits to places with "0 openings". I just don't even bother with that thing.

You have to count people that leave... i.e. If PHX says 10 openings for FO's. But 10 current PHX FO's take the upgrade then 20 positions would be awarded...

Yeah I get that but how are you going to know that knowledge? You probably won't. I just don't know why people get worked up/worried about what the DVR says. Odds are if you're close to your bid you will get it soon. I guess just trying to say keep a positive mind and don't trust that thing 100%.

To each their own I guess.

Better then before.. they said nothing... but yes. You would have to look at everyone bid to predict it...

I think he was saying the 10 anticipated vacancies won't even show up, so it's pointless trying to calculate your likelyhood of an award based on your position in the standing bid list if without accurate numbers of projected openings.

That said, the BOI and SAN initial bid numbers were spot on last month
