I know on the town hall it said VPS would be an Airbus TDY base. Anyone else heard rumors of it going MD?

As far as new hire class seniority goes, it is now determined by the last four of your SSN: the lower the number, the more senior.

Oh, I guess I got that wrong, but thanks. I'd be one of the most junior in that scenario. So I'll wait and see how this airbus transition goes. Still, anyone have any info to share on the airbus schedule over the MD, or they both basically the same. Thanks

Is there any flexibility to trade/adjust schedule to avoid single days off?
In other words, anything that would make the schedule more commuter friendly.

You can drop/add trips through the computer anytime, assuming something is available to be picked up or there is coverage for you to drop.

Line holders can also participate in SAP after the initial monthly bid award to re-arrange their schedules prior to composite lines being published for the rest of the pilots.

Of the minimum 12 days off per month, 6 can be isolated.

Our scheduling system is not as good or "standard" as other airlines, we are currently negotiating its replacement, hoping for flica.

I think you will find though that the quality of schedules are better on the airbus over the MD80 -and- the larger the base you are in, the better your schedule can be.

I got two emails. One was for a test and the other was for the video interview.

Does anyone have a timeline on how long it took for you to get a call or email after those items are submitted?

Thanks for your help!

You should hear within 7-10 days after you submit.

OK thanks for the input!! The test was very straight forward, as was the interview. I completed the interview last night and received confirmation that they received it.

Really excited about the opportunity!!

Thanks again!
