Good questions about seat/equipment/base locks. So, if I'm understanding the answers correctly, there are NO base locks? That would argue toward bidding the equipment you want ahead of the base you want, yes? How often/quickly would a new hire expect to be able to move? Is that part of the monthly bid?
Also want to be a sponge on any answers to gr8vu's commuter question--I'm in Kansas City. ATL seems the clear winner, based on number of daily flights, but I feel ill-equipped to weigh all the intangibles about speed of seniority increase, etc. Of course, this ties back to the first question about equipment vs. base. I have a middle-of-the-road SSN....
Look forward to seeing the 16 Jun class!
If they continue to hire at least 50 a month a new hire should be able to change between DTW, ATL and NYC virtually at will. Other bases should be available in 6 months to a year with the exception of SEA since it has no narrow bodies.
