If I look at things right, from the jr guy from last bid to the jr guy this bid, there are 592 numbers... so for 229 upgrades they went through 592 pilots!
I’m thinking things might back off a bit, but I sure hope not! I don’t have intel just an opinion but I think most were surprised with this award (777DFW was a eye opener). Now that people see what’s out there for them they might life plan a bit and take a upgrade or try G4 FO. So I’d guess a little bit of a pull back on it (CA or G4 FO) going really junior. But I think that will be temporary. Hopefully we keep it going. |

Doubt it. .there's a training bump in winter months. This is to get ready for the next summer.
Yea but this isn’t for training in winter. This is for September, October and November training. My understanding is that unless you got withheld they will have you trained by the effective date of the bid. Which is December 1 on this bid. |

You have to finish training within 30 days of the award. So you can start in late November for a December award. Sec 17.R.????
I.e. 190 FOs held for a year. |

If they are not going to send you to training you are given a withhold award. On a subsequent award you will be given a released award.

Would anybody have a rough idea of how many pilots are staffed per category? As in the number of pilots in group 2, 3, and 4? Do they staff them evenly? I would assume group 4 would need more pilots, but since that aircraft typically will just fly once or twice a day I’m guessing maybe it evens out.
