I'm trying to gather all available information. What are the junior domiciles at DAL? How long does it take to get out west like SLC/LAX as a newhire? Are there any equipment locks as a newhire? Is there a continual bid process or would a newhire today have to wait until the next AE bid to transfer out of LGA or ATL? Thanks for any information.

There may have been some categories left "unbid", but I'm not sure. Plus, the category list for 2008 just got released, but the numbers listed above are fairly close. Some captain seats MAY be more junior because of pilots already scheduled for training from the last bid but I haven't looked.

And after the dust settled I moved up a whopping 8 numbers in category.... although I think 3/4 of the people below me bid out of NY.

Reserve is bad. Nobody wants it and every category has very junior people because of it. Is most instances you can make as much as a senior copilot as a junior captain, with more days off. If you are considering a career with Delta, move to Atlanta or New York. You will have a fabulous career with lots of options.

Thanks to everyone for the helpful responses. Just to make sure I understand you, are you suggesting that the West-Coast domiciles are less stable, or just more senior? I'm willing to move, but if I didn't have to that'd be an added bonus. I appreciate everyone's responses. |

Probably because whether you go to heaven or hell, it's going to involve a connection in ATL. Considering that Delta heavily dominates ATL, it's probably your safest bet. Bases come and go. Get bigger, get smaller. Go senior, but suddenly go amazingly junior. When I was a new hire, LAX was hella senior. Now, you can't swing a cat around the pilot lounge and not scratch a gaggle of new hire pilots looking for the crew lounge!

I was one of those lost souls in LAX 2 weeks ago when I snagged that out of base greenslip... I probably looked like a lost puppy wandering off that 767-400 into an terminal I had never been anywhere near before, haha. "Durrrr....where's ops??" " "...and where's food?? .... that is maybe halfway decent" All this right before a coast to coast redeye.
