Whatever positions don’t get scooped up will be offered to noobs.
In your notional new hire class of 50 pilots, they aren’t going to tell you there at 10 NYC 767-400 slots and 40 NYC A220 slots.
They will just provide you with a list of bases/plane combos that are available….767 and 220….no number of positions will be provided to you.
To add to the above what they award will also be based on current training capacity available for each fleet. It’s in their best interest to a certain extent to try and award you something you will stay on for a longer period of time. It’s rather easy to manipulate a training freeze that effectively is only 9 months after training completion. Depending on capacity they have some flexibility in the awards.
