I want to end up in DEN (live SLC) ASAP and prolly finish out WB FO on the west coast, or maybe NB upgrade. I've got 8, maybe 10 years left...so little time, so much to do.
I'll reluctantly give up my sushi table if the guppy is the better route, but I guess I'm still not clear that's the case based on the discussion here. Any further thoughts?
For a data point, 6-9 new hires that started on 9 Sept were able to get in the vacancy bid that closed 12 Sept and get Denver on the 737. Since then I think another 250 or so people have started, but I wouldn’t think jt would take to long to get to Den 737s if your starting next month.
i believe one of the classes that started in the last few weeks actually had Den 737s on their initial class bid.
