Great, thanks!

I know the answer to this question could be irrelevant in a week or two with how fast everything is changing, but with the current demand, and new hire class size at 65-70, which aircraft and base would likely get you to a line fastest?
I will be a commuter, and would prefer to stay west coast. A friend at United suggested 75/76 out of SFO. SFO, LAX, DEN, ORD, and IAH are 1 leg commutes for me.

737 will be best bet for a line, most growth. Followed by 320.

The answer is always 737 on the coasts.

Usually you’ll finish ioe, have that month of reserve and a line next month bidding, maybe two months reserve. Movement is crazy right now

Pretty much. The cut line for line holders isn’t that different between the two fleets, with DCA being slightly more senior.

thanks for the info. I’m torn coming from ATL over more flights to NY area but competing with more commuters vs shorter commute to DC, but fewer flights. Really want the A320 and I should be senior enough in class to pick any of these options.
