It depends on size. Every base is "super senior" when it first opens at 100 pilots a seat and all the commuters are putting their initial bids in. If they grow it, it will eventually go junior. ATL is senior because SWA acquired AirTran, got rid of 2/3 their airplanes, and shrunk their biggest base and refuses to grow it. MCO is senior because everybody moves to Florida before they die. BNA will go super senior at first, but if they truly grow it, it will moderate.

I promise it will if they grow it enough. I want to move there, so I get it, but Nashville isn't Orlando. Look at all the pre-Tran SWA bases w the exception of Orlando. They are pretty normalized in seniority. I can hold every base as a captain except ATL and MCO (and now BNA). They have absolutely refused to grow those bases for various reasons and MCO is a retirement paradise that also happens to have a bunch of AirTran dudes. We will see. If it stays small then yeah, it will definitely be super senior since it came pre-installed with crews.
