I've been able to lance in LAX since August and LAS since last month. While I'm not based there and do not plan to be I wouldn't change base in Hope's of lance since I yavent seen Lance's awarded in any if these bases since I've been eligible. I'm not sure if the company is replacing them as they leave or not at all since the numbers haven't changed

Go check out the UAL forum about rsv at other airlines thread. Sounds like their rsv is hot garbage and you’ll be commuting to it for years unless you move to base (which is prob why they’ve got unfilled vacancies). Seems to me if the company wants people to bid that they should make rsv more lucrative than it was in their Tumi TA.

With projected growth and retirements, how low do do y'all think upgrade time will settle out for someone hired today?

Write the numbers 1-25 on post it notes and stick them to the wall at random. Put a blindfold on. Toss a dart at the wall. If you hit a number, great. That’s how long it’ll take. If you hit the wall, sorry about your luck…that’s a black swan event that throws all bets off.

You can count on upgrade somewhere between 5-10 years. Maybe more. Who knows?

Since someone resurrected this thread, I figure it would be a good time to troll my good buddy Eeyore:

... and you should hold a line as a captain in DAL by then.

I hear they're doing really well these days. Hope you've saved some of that captain paycheck...

A line in Dallas? In 10 months? I might take that bet… 🤣

Interestingly there still 660+ FOs senior to me who can hold Captain.

DIBS ON THAT BET. Blank line with no more than one reserve pairing counts.
