Normally all classes have been for the 80. Although 3 from last Augusts class got Airbus about a week in because no other FOs bid it. I have heard the next class will be both Airbus and 80. Rumor is they don't want double training costs so they may not let current FOs transition. If that's true, it's just one more example on a long list of many why we need a contract.

Training is in Las Vegas. Although some get sent to MIA for sim and I believe the bulk of the Bus training is also in MIA. For IOE you can be sent to whatever base has a check airman available.
