Plusses or minuses of new hire captain may soon be moot. Pretty decent signal in yesterday's bid that the new reserve rules are considered relevant. Lot of not junior people bidding EWR/SFO 737CA.

Probably both. Significant minority of EWR/SFO bids were senior enough to be well past (rational) FOMO.

That's the way it should be!

I believe it is FOMO. Folks are jumping in for the upgrade now that they are seeing that CA slots are drying up in their desired base.

Plus with the new reserve rules, trips that normally go premium will start to decrease with VECs now.

I slid into the left seat prior to the contract being signed anticipating that CA vacancies will dry up for my desired base. Yes, I will be jr for awhile.

Going forward can we still expect junior base 737 captain being feasible at a year or so?

The current vacation only had 1 unfilled CA slot. IMO there are too many variables to even make an educated guess. How long will it take Boeing to get their crap together? Is the economy slowing? DAL earnings suggest overcapacity for now. Was this vacancy a reflection of things to come going more senior with the new contract or an outlier? Only thing that anyone knows for sure is the earlier you get hired the better your chances. Seniority is everything.

Maybe a better question is how Junior was the latest awarded CA spot?

Only two bases are going junior now it seems - EWR 737 CA at 15600ish and SFO 737 CA at 17000ish.

Rest are trending significantly more senior than before.

Looks like SFO may have been someone in class. EWR looks to be about 1500ish from the bottom.
