Yeah, seat bids and openings are always in motion.... The last seat bid that came out in Feb had SFS f/o's in training 4 weeks later. Two newhires this spring got to go to Subic, too. But there is no way to tell where people will bid when you get here- someone has to move out or up for you to get in there.

Plan for the worst- a few years in the back of the Boeing- and hope for the best- widebody in less than a year. It is all worth it in the end. Let me tell you, the WORST day here is better than the best day at some other places I have been at.

Elvis:
I am not sure I advocate going into extreme debt to be a pilot. It may take you longer, but try to pay for as much as you can up front. Otherwise, you will be paying off the debt for a very long time. It will take a long time to get a job that pays well enough to pay it back, and gain the seniority to get the higher salaries. Do whatever it takes- deliver pizza, get some college done at the JC level, wash the planes at the FBO, whatever.
