The irony in this post is SLC apparently has some of the best strip clubs in the country. I was listening to a podcast where a few professional athletes confirmed this.

How many of those pilots were initially given a widebody as a new hire and bid into LAS as a way to break their seat lock with the intention to lateral ASAP to their desired base?

let’s be clear here.

there are currently 17 unfilled CAPTAIN positions in LAS. New hires aren’t bidding for those.

what’s happening is that all the new hires (lots) who were put on the 777 in SFO are bidding over to LAS to break their seat lock. Then once it’s awarded, they’re bidding out of LAS on the next vacancy into [whatever]. (I know you know this…I’m just reiterating for anyone who doesn’t).

I think the Captain vacancies in Vegas might get worse once the trips really start flowing. I know some people like red eyes, but…every trip?

I was referring to the large number of CAs bidding back to LAX/SFO. 10 advertised vacancies and there were 17 unfilled on yesterday’s snapshot. 9 bid out of with only 1 FO taking the position as the other incoming is already a 320 CA.

If MCO and LAS also have staffing problems, does it make additional pilot bases more likely or less likely? I really hope that once we get an ILC and when we start adding flying out of those bases, that the trips will get better and they will fill up and we keep opening up more locations. I'd love a SEA base too!!!

Vegas, though…everyone I talk to comments on how bizarre of a choice that is for a new base.

Not a UAL guy. Well I was 20 years ago but. I would have thought LAS would go somewhat senior as there are a lot of pilots that live there and commute to SFO or DEN for the lower cost of living. Or are these pilots on the wide body and wouldn’t downgrade to a 737 ?
