From this point on… a lot of LAX and SEA 73. Each class is slightly different though. There are sprinkles of PDX and ANC. It’s need based in each class, company discretion. SEA openings I think were around 65% of the bid though.

Where are the reserves for January

Can anyone explain why we have maybe 1 pilot on reserve for January out of SFO? Please enlighten me. No one can move their schedules. Why were so many lines given to SFO? Thanks to all and Merry Christmas!!

Novice question I’m sure, but I’m a novice…if DOB determines aircraft, what determines the base you get coming out of training?

It’s the same thing. You pick base/aircraft at the same time based on seniority. If there are SEA 737 positions open you pick that when it’s your turn (based on age).

Thank you! I’m relieved to hear you have a say in what base you get. Not that you will always get what you want…

You kind of do. Company decides which vacancies to put in a class based on training back log as it relates to aircraft type. Then they decide of that type which base needs staffing. There could be 50 openings in SEA on the 737 but they may not put those in your class. They could put them in the next class and you could be Airbus based in the 320. And if you are young you get whatever is left.
