I heard that they have hotel contracts for the classes up to the class starting August 31, which they started filling.
You have seats in seniority order and bid for your base in the morning of the first day.
July 17 class had 2 LAX positions and 10 Seattle.

It takes about a year and a half to get the Portland base, which is getting to be more and more senior, especially among FO's.

Twelve actually showed up for class? No no-shows?

No idea about future base distribution. Sounds like LAX will continue to be junior, about 3 months to a line. Seattle about a year.

There are people who were in the pool that for the CJO this past January and February who took jobs at other majors while sitting in the pool. But they're not just no-showing. They're notifying AS that they won't be showing to class in advance.

We have actually had no-shows in the past. It's definitely an unprofessional way of doing things, but it does happen every now and then.

Also, yes is is about 10 months to get off reserve in Seattle and that is from your first day. So really only 7 months of being an FO. That will come down if hiring continues. There were only a few classes after me before the 4 month break.

If you are holding a line as a new-hire, after only three months in LAX, that means reserve is going somewhat senior. Guys would rather do reserve than hold a regular line or an open-flying line. The lines stink enough for guys to deliberately choose reserve instead, at least during off-peak months. When the lines stink, the open flying lines stink worse. So, probably a lots of all-nighters, low-time trips, and sits-
There's a reason LAX is a junior base, the red-headed b@stard stepchild. There is no life south of Seattle. ****e rolls down hill and LA is south of Seattle.
