FLL and SFB had a couple spots along with PIT. So anything OCT or after will get those spots. Hope that helps

Thanks for the digging, hopefully there will be more growth in 2020

Does each new hire class get to bid on the next classes vacancies or do only line qualified pilots get to bid the system vacancies? like if you get awarded a base you don't want do you have to wait until the end of ioe to even bid a different base?

Is the answer to that question going to affect your acceptance of a job offer?

No. But it might affect my decision of when and if to move the whole fam to grr. Which I gather is lovely in January.

After your initial new hire award, you'll get to bid on system vacancies along with every other pilot. You do not have to wait until completion of IOE to bid for something else.

A few questions about the BLI base. Approximately how long would one expect to spend on reserve there after awarded it? Also, approximately how long is upgrade there right now? Is the base expanding at all? Thanks for the info

I am surprised it hasn't been mentioned here yet, but the company just announced yesterday DSM as a new base.

Maybe it had to do with the fact that the word “internally” was underlined in the company email. Hopefully guys don’t ruin internal communications for us by making them public......
