Can anyone in the class bid for any one of those vacancies, or will they have a class specifically for like 30 A320. Or 10 737, 10 756, 10 A320 and can only bid for what’s offered?

First day of Indoc they will post on the board the open vacancies. Returning guys will get first pick. Then new hires will pick bases on seniority in the class (age). They just go down the list and ask what you want. That becomes your initial assignment.... But if a vacancy bid opens while you’re there, you can bid in that. Seat locks still apply so if your initial award is 737 you can’t bid A320 in the vacancy (but could bid up to 756).... When I was new I was awarded DCA 737 and before being done with training was awarded ORD 737 in a vacancy bid.
