i come bearing good news. 3 new hires were just awarded the 330 freighter yesterday. They were awarded to middle seniority of the class. So there’s always a chance. 7 330pax awards too.

if you are awarded the a330pax, you can transfer to the freight at any time we have a vacancy bid. We’ve been running one once every 3 months or so.

I know a 330 pax guy that was awarded freight after only being here for two weeks.

as far as them keeping the Amazon flying, I think it’s entirely plausible. On our end we’ve been told that Alaska is interested in continuing the contract they just want to renegotiate the terms, and specifically told us that they would want exactly 20 more 330Fs in order to make it more worth it for us.

If it plays out that way, then I’d imagine there would be plentiful opportunities to be awarded the freight.

Alaska pilots HATE the idea of our Amazon contract so they’re all just pushing wishful thinking hoping to manifest AAG ending the contract.
