When is the 767 class scheduled for? Before or after the New Year?
They told us they have a new hire class for 767 plan for 2 pilots in Dec and 4 in Jan. However, no one has heard if anyone has actually interviewed or been hired. currently there is vacancy of 8 FOs in MIA
If you get 767 base in Miami, do they put you up in a hotel while at Boeing training in Miami?
NAC is only planning to hire for the 767 and MIA is the only 767 base right now. So if you get hired you will be based in MIA. Hotel is paid for until you finish IOE. Training is done at Boeing.
How many hours a month are guys flying and/or crediting?
line are built to approx 90 hrs.
Do they have a seatlock if you want to switch to the 737 or if you get assigned the 737 in Hawaii can you bid 767?
We have 2 different certificates. The 737s in Hawaii are under their own certificate and currently do their own hiring. That being said, we have one seniority list so if you were hired by HNL you could bid for 767. But since NAC is currently hiring directly for 767 , if that is what you want just apply at NAC.
There is seat lock language in the CBA.
Line bidding or PBS?
line bidding, with SAP
How easy is it to drop or pickup flying?
right now pick up is easy since we are short of pilots. currently they will not let a straight drop but you can trade.

If you live in MIA you will be home after every trip. If you don't, you will need a crash pad.
