No, just make sure you get the 737 if you want ORD.

Any recent class drops?

motojet 10-09-2023 05:26 AM

There may not be a class this week due to Columbus/Native Peoples Day today. I have seen in the past where there is no class during a holiday week. Not sure though.

There is a class. The drop didnt come out on Friday, likely because the vacancy award also posted and the people working in crew planning hadn't finished their work for what were needed for this class.

The last vacancy award had a ton of good movement on it.

RTAG was this weekend. Big DFW event and AA was a primary sponsor. Lots of on the spot interviews and CJOs. Possible those that send out the class drop were involved in that and didn’t get to it yet.

Or maybe it was sent out and just nobody that received it has posted it.

Just to call a spade a spade. How was his post wrong? You seem far more upset then his simple answer of yes.

Probably sitting around a crew room listening to a new hire complain that his squadron buddies are upgrading at Delta in 6 months and it’s going to take HIM 2 years at American. Hilarious thing is a recent new hire class had a Delta pilot, several Jet Blue, and a couple Southwest. Grass is always greener.

As long as multiple players are hiring, you will always see a bit of this. Not necessarily that the grass is greener, but different people like different kinds of grass. No rhyme or reason sometimes why you get a call from the OTHER carrier first instead of where you want to work. Some people want to live in XYZ instead of ATL/PHX/DEN/PHX or place your preferred domicile over where the other place that called you first flies from.

I have always heard that BOS is relatively senior on the CA side. How is seniority progression on the FO side? I only ask since I've seen it in so many drops recently.

??? What does that have to do with someone complaining about upgrade times? Besides, the Delta guy was asked why he left and the answer wasn’t bases. He said he left because of the culture.

How often are classes running?

And are class drops known before showing up for class?

For the recent new hires, what has been said regarding future hiring? Numbers for next year?

Go back and read the past couple dozen pages and it will be amazing how much you can learn.

Weekly classes with class drops on the Friday before the class. No classes in December. Approximately 2200 per year for the next 5 years. 800 or so per year are to replace pilots that retire, 1400 are for growth.

International vs Domestic.

Mexico and Canada are Domestic. The International part really means flying over water (ie. Caribbean Islands and South America).

Can you show me where it says class drops must come out before the Friday of each class? When did it come out this week?

Setspeed 10-11-2023 08:45 AM

Quoting a post on 10/9 of a class drop, for a class date of 10/11, and you're wondering if class drops are known before your class date.

smh

I am sorry for whoever hurt you when you were a child.

For the past 2 years, most every class drop has come out on the Friday before the class. That is the normal protocol that the good folks in the hiring department use. So, if you would ask the "Orientation Angels" that run the orientation program when they typically put the class drop out, they will say that they try to have it out by Friday before a class. This is sometimes late, typically around a big holiday or right after a vacancy award posts and crew manning doesn't have their staffing needs for new hires tallied yet.

You can't, so stop telling everybody they are released every Friday. I've seen them released Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday before class. The fact is that there is no requirement other then get it to the new hires in time to come to a decision on the first day of class. You are only encouraging the multitude of annoying aNy ClAsS dRoP yet posts we see the week before, mostly from people who are not even in the class.

No one cares or takes seriously anything that you have to say.
