I also received the tbnt last night.
8800 total
5000 Tpic
All turboprop, no jet
2 types.
3.6 gpa, under age 40.
I do have a bit of an unusual background though. The past nine years have been spent doing contract work for various Asian airlines.
Must say I am a bit bummed out though.

I know there's supposed to be new Airbus coming but isn't the net fleet supposed to be at or less than what there is now when all is said and done with MD80 retirements? Are all the future CAs hired already? Also is the md80 12 or 24 month seat locked if you get it? Thanks

No. The fleet will continue to grow.

This may sound odd since most people want the A320, but I would actually prefer to fly the MD80 over the Airbus at first. It is a much more challenging aircraft that one can use to build upon an already established well of previous turbojet/prop experience. Is there any chance of someone being given the option to select that airframe before it makes its exit in 2019?

There's a reason so many have bid over from the MD80 to the Airbus... and it has nothing to do with the MD80 being a challenging airplane.
Cramped cockpit, poor layout, hot, hot, hot in the summer, etc.

I'd say reach out to them in person, or contact one of the guys on here. You sound like you would be a shoe in. Im going out to interview later this month.
