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?
DTW 717 is a pretty good spot to be in your first year or two, especially if you want DTW. Theres always movement because its a revolving door of people bidding off after their first or second year, plus we're bringing back 20ish 717's back from the desert so theres that movement as well. The flying is pretty repetitive and you'll never go west of Kansas, but thats the only bad thing I can say about it.
