That said I am thinking of applying here for the flow in case for some reason another major didn't hire me and I could use the bonus cash after going through my first unemployment phase of my career. My questions are: when are the next classes scheduled that are not full, current guess on upgrade time, and likely hood of getting PHL? I am just about to cross the 11,000 hour mark and have about 4,000 pic in the EMB145. Thank you for the help.
You can definitely get PHL relatively fast on the dash, and on the jet it is our only base. I've heard classes going forward will be mostly (in some cases all?) Jet, so i'd say you can pretty much bet on being in PHL before you finish training if not right off the bat.
Most jr upgrade on the jet is a 2/16 hire, and most jr upgrade on the dash is a 5/16 hire (most jr phl ca was hired 3/16). A bid just closed so we will see how that changes when the award comes out
