I know there is no way of knowing, but I have to say that is probably my biggest hang up on leaving where I am. I fear being stuck on the 737 which I hate, or the 717 and have the fast upgrades come to a halt. Does anyone have an idea the SSN assigned on some of the last drops. Trying to judge where I might fall, but again, I know it's based on the SSN in my class. How feasible is it to get a 320 out of any base (prefer DTW) with a low SSN based on how planes have been assigned in the past classes?
Yes that’s exactly how it works ie. 9999 9998, etc.
Low numbers aren’t alway bad as you can imagine in a class of 100 there is going to be a large markup of people wanting to get bases all around.
The only thing that’s guaranteed as of now to go to say 9999 and 9998 is the 330/350.
I don’t have a crystal ball but don’t come here to be disappointed if upgrades slow down. Now with the amount of people we are hiring, plane deliveries, and retirements I’m sure the pipeline to upgrade won’t dry up quickly. May take longer since there’s a lot of people that have been hired in the last 2.5 year.
To get the 320 out of any base won’t be tough. DTW and 320 now that’s just a gamble on what the drop is.
Good luck if you choose to come here, but don’t be so nervous to come here where a plane decides whether or not you come
