Juniority September 2014

****Update 5:45pm Aug 12, One more correction. The formula for total bidding flight attendants was incorrect and effected the accuracy of reserves and such. The formula has been updated (Target plus Reserve equals total bidding) and hopefully this will be the last update to this Juniority report. The sharp eye award goes to Sheri Jo for spotting the discrepancy! 

***Update 7:30am Aug 12, I had entered Denver's information incorrectly. This is up to date and double check as of now. Big thank you to Amy for catching my error.

It isn't every day that I update this blog. It is useful, but I have covered quite a bit thus far and I don't have questions nearly as often as I used to. For those of you reading this, thank you. This is for you and I hope it serves you well.

Several years ago I made a post called Juniority. In that post I had taken the information from the Bid Info page on SkyWest and implemented it into a spreadsheet. If someone were to ask you what the most junior base is, what would you say? Sure, you could speculate, but these numbers don't lie. Plus, this is critical information for those who are considering transferring to a domicile where they'd be a line holder. So, if you know someone who is considering transferring for a line show them this.

Hi, my wife is a flight attendant trainee holding for her IOE and then a domicile at MSP. Our home is in Southern California. I love your report and it is so awesome that you take the time to compile this information in a concise document. Help me to use your data to understand generally how the metrics translate into time in reserve from domicile to domicile before becoming a line holder. I know this is somewhat "tea leave reading" but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey guys, sorry for the delayed response. MSP is in need of FAs still. So, the chances would be rather high that you'd be awarded MSP out of training, but keep in mind even this info is old... I should really do an updated report.

To give you an idea of how long the junior flight attendants have been here (to relate to reserve vs line folks) 43000 employee numbers are coming up on their one year anniversary. At first glance, it could very well be "tea leave reading" since it is a month to month dynamic process, but the variations aren't terrible drastic.
