They are not disappearing. Only the LUAL 757-200s which are being replaced with 737-900 and MAX airplanes. All the 757 and 767s will be one fleet of over 100 airplanes, which is still a decent sized fleet.

You just have to wait 2 years and then you can bid something else that has a vacancy. I would expect by that time they overstaff/understaff in most positions will have evened out and there will regular small amounts of vacancies across the board.

8-D-1 Equipment Training Freeze

8-D-1-a When a Pilot enters training for a vacancy award, he may be ineligible to be awarded another vacancy for twenty-four (24) months if the number of training days (excluding days off) for the training he has entered is thirteen (13) days or greater, or for twelve (12) months if the training he has entered is less than thirteen (13) days. There shall be no restriction on his eligibility to be awarded another vacancy if training is not required.

8-D-1-b An Equipment training freeze shall also apply to a Pilot who requires training upon being hired as a Pilot or upon being recalled from furlough.

8-D-1-c An Equipment training freeze shall begin the first day a Pilot starts training, and shall apply to any vacancy bulletin whose closing date falls within the duration of the freeze.

8-D-1-d An Equipment training freeze shall not restrict a Pilot in a lower–numbered Equipment/pay band from being awarded a vacancy in a higher-numbered Equipment/pay band, pursuant to the bands described below:

1) 321/320/319FO, 737FO 2) 767/757FO 3) 747FO, 777FO, 787FO, 350FO 4) 321/320/319CA, 737CA 5) 767/757CA 6) 747CA, 777CA, 787CA, 350CA

8-D-1-e An Equipment training freeze shall not restrict a Pilot from bidding to a “new” Category (a Category shall be considered “new” for all vacancies with advertised effective dates within six (6) months of the advertised effective date of the first vacancies bid in that new Category).

Since most new hires can plan on the 737 or 76T, what does the training footprint/schedule look like for those two fleets? Is there an advantage for choosing one over the other?

In theroy the footprint should be about the same.

As a practical matter the 737 fleet is pretty messed up right now so don't expect to complete 737 training with the same footprint that you started with.

737 training is in IAH while 76T is in DEN (with some potential exceptions for both.)

Default Today is Call day (hopefully)

OK Poolie Fans,

Based on previous results, today should be "call day" for 03 Jun Class.

Rumor is 13 lucky poolies for this class. Rumor also says 20 for the 17 June class.

If you get a call or know someone who does please chime in and let us know.

Good Luck.

Calls were tracking on Tuesdays but the last 2 or 3 notifications came on Mondays.....I feel very sad right now that I am that familiar with all this.

PacMan and the other recent "requestees" have been added, you will be in the next Line-Up post that I will put out after notifications. Probably Tuesday night or Wednesday morning depending on how quick we get the results.
