Once you have a base, can you lose it during the next vacancy bid due to seniority (or for any reason other than shrinking the base)?

No once you have a bar that’s your base. Only way to loose is if base closes I would think and get displaced.

My class mates got it I believe on the second vacancy, maybe some were able to get it on Mutual Base Exchange.

Motoracing 03-12-2023 10:05 AM

Cool! Thx

And how many vacancies bids they run a year?

They require 3 but seems like it’s 4 at least. I started August and already there’s been 3 including the current one now for September

The 1st part of that statement is untrue; IDK about the 2nd. Probably accurate?

ImSoSuss 03-12-2023 02:16 PM

Take a look at the Class Drops thread. You can see every class drop for the last year. You can then gauge your chances of getting your base on day 1. Other than that nobody here has a clue to the rhyme or reason of the class drops we see every week.

Just got an invite for an admin Zoom meeting. Assuming everyone goes through that? Any specific advice or just treat it like a mini interview?

Treat it like a full-blown interview, including introduction, tell me about a time and airline pilot scenario. It's much smaller scale, but should be treated with equal respect.

Ok great, thanks.

I applied back in September and have been updating my profile. How long on average are people waiting to hear back to interview? Thanks fellas.

I applied in June 2022. First contact made in March 2023. I didn’t attend any events.

I first submitted my application last September with an availability of April '23. Went to the RTAG meet and greet in October and didn't hear anything until I emailed [email protected] based on a recommendation of someone with a similar issue about 6 months ahead of me. My email was at the end of January. That got the ball rolling and I had an interviewer scheduled in March with a CJO the next day.

YMMV. Good luck!

Smart man. I emailed them the other day inquiring about my application status; I have some employment gaps from high school and college summer jobs. I think not having PIC time is hurting me. Had a Delta CJO fall through from the psychologist and just recently a Southwest interview "no thanks try again". So maybe that or my dry personality haha.

echo892 03-15-2023 06:45 PM

Went to NGPA meet n greet 2/9, invite to interview 2/21, interview 3/7, CJO 3/9.
Seems like about a month between CJO and class date.. or maybe a bit longer... is that accurate?
Any idea how long to get LAX after training? Would bidding 737 vs. bus make a difference?
Thanks

How’s the Dfw to NY area commute? Looks like a ton of flights but I assume heavy demand for jump seats also?

You call and book the jumpseat 8 days in advance and it's yours to keep.

doesn’t seem like a lot of demand. People aren’t forced to stay in Lga for very long anymore.

the one problem is that is usually exclusively 737’s and ours only have one jump. Also weight restrictions could be an issue? I know MIA-LGA commuters deal with them a lot on the 737

Sheriff Bart 03-16-2023 05:30 AM

If you are commuting on reserve as a newhire to LGA, what are the chances of getting LC? How about LC for EWR trips?

Did it 3.5 years. Not bad unless there’s weather in the NE.

Your seniority will shoot up fast in LGA, but you don't even need seniority to get EWR trips. They're mostly uncommutable 2 and 3 days that sign in at 0530 and get back at 2245. No too bad for a PA/NJ guy but if you're a commuter, have fun..

You will probably only spend a month or two on the line as SCR.

Sheriff Bart 03-16-2023 07:43 AM

Thank you. Once on LC or holding a line in LGA, how is the commutability of those trips?

Non commutable. The crew rooms are packed each night with pilots.

Sheriff Bart 03-16-2023 10:20 AM

Are MIA or PHL 320 trips commutable?

There’s pilots sleeping in the crew room overnight??

that’s pretty ridiculous when your making 6 figures and to cheap for a 60-100 hotel room

mketch11 03-16-2023 06:29 PM

$60 hotel in NY? Lol

It’s not about cheapness most of the time. If you have a 6am flight home and it’s 11pm, it’s a pain in the ass to get to/from your crashpad or hotel.

And you're prob getting more rest this way as well.

I think he meant $60 for the airbnb.........not including the $50 service fee and $100 cleaning charge.

Lol I’m honestly surprised to hear that. I knew this was happening about 10-15 years ago and for many years before that, mostly with regional pilots that were making less than peanuts at the time. But that’s surprising to hear guys at American are doing it to this day.

pretty sure most these crew room stays are at the END of a trip

Forms and paperwork to bring?
 
Hi everyone,

I've got an interview coming up, but haven't received the email that states what paperwork to bring. Also, I haven't been successful in reaching anyone a the recruiting department. I'm a military pilot and am wondering if anyone has any gouge on what paperwork I should have ready to go when I go to the in-person interview.

Thanks,

Ohaiyo

Is there a specific point where I should stop touching anything on my application as the in-person draws near? I added some time today to my totals and swapped my resume attachment for an updated one. Interview is at the end of the month and I'm wondering if I should leave it be the last week or so.
