Also, I have a question about the seat lock stuff. Are you seat locked and domicile locked? Could you bid over to another base if you stay in the same aircraft? Also are you guys seeing a block increase in flight hours?
Welcome! If the pattern continues, the 17th class will be either all Saab, or Saab and CRJ-200. Unless they stray from the way they have been doing classes for the last 4 or 5 vacancies, I can't see any newhires getting the 900 on this class start date. Sorry, but on the bright side... if you get the 200 you'd be guaranteed MSP as it is the only 200 base.

Just a clarification. You are seat locked as an FO for 3 years if you have not had the opportunity to upgrade. This means after 3 years you can bid to FO in another airplane. There are no seat locks for upgrade as long as you meat the minimum of experience which are ATP minimums. Also I believe a year with the company which can be reduced to avoid hiring street captains. There may be a XJ flight time requirement but it is low and can be reduced. So to summarize you can upgrade when your seniority holds it and move to whatever base your aircraft is in and your seniority can bid to that base.

It may have been more of a coincidence in me finding out, but I had to ask so I could start the TSA process (non-citizen). (You can't apply for TSA clearance without knowing aircraft type.)
