Sadly, those vacancies were all that were created by the last vacancy bid for line pilots. That bid had an effective date of the end of May (beginning of June bid month) and last for 90 days after that effective date if memory serves. Then they expire. That means the company has time for the pull back on new hires for the summer before they have to release a new vacancy bid to create slots for new hires. By contract, any slot has to first be offered to a line pilot (e.g. lateral) before a new hire can bid on it.

Seems in line with the classes announced so far......unfortunately.

As a side note, I figure the 737 would have quicker movement but the 320 is far more ergonomically comfortable. Pick your poison. That’s coming from someone who has flown both for 6K. But, leaving the 777 for the 737 left seat after 20 years here. Time to know who the a$$hat Capt is I’ll be flying with every trip......
