I'll hold left seat in DEN before I can lance.
true but can you hold left seat at 80% before lance?
I dont think one can so I may bet on the lance. I got my cpt set at 80%. I guess I'll see what happens first

Could someone who is savvy with this tell me what approximate % I would need in OAK or LAX to hold weekends off on reserve for upgrade?

Guessing…92%?

Now you're getting fancy. I was going off of upgrading at 100% where you're based.

I could hold lance in LAX, but then I'm stuck for 6 months if someone bumps me out....or until I upgrade. I'd rather not commute since I live in base.

I'm 21% in base so have a while to go to crack the top 50 or 3%. All those guys could have held left seat a year or more ago.

1149xx. Not bad. Someone should have taken me up on that bet. Seems OAK and LAX still have enough stank on them to go way junior. The next few bids should be interesting assuming they stick to their plan, which I think they will since they seem determined to man the airline for peak flying come hell or high water.

7.5 year upgrade and trending down.

How many numbers down the list did it move from the junior Jan vacancy to the Feb vac? Curious how much 100 vacancies moves down this list. Was it about 150?

I didn’t keep track of the most jr on the last bid. It did go way more Sr. though.

Will see if it starts to trend more jr away from Etops bases. I’m still close to 400 from DEN but only 230 or so from OAK now.

A quick scan of the last three vacancy awards showed the junior CA all in OAK.
By seniority number (employee number) it came out to:
Dec: 8223 (1076XX)
Jan: 8255 (1081XX)
Feb 8461 (1149XX)

That's about 179 numbers up the system seniority list between Jan and Feb if I got all the numbers right.

Thanks Fuse. Wouldn’t that be 206?

I think it's the whole system seniority vs. relative seniority thing. I'll admit it makes my brain hurt.

I looked up the employee numbers of the two plugs for Jan and Feb on the system seniority list and the difference in seniority was 179. The numbers I gave above are seniority number as assigned on DOH from the vacancy e-mail. I believe that means 27 people between the two have exited the list in the last 7.5 years. AirTran added another variable that I still haven't figured out.

Someone please correct me where I'm mistaken.
