DFW/320/FO/D is more junior than DFW/320/FO/I. If your goal is to get off reserve sooner than later, bid accordingly.

Hoping to get a class date soon… currently live in NY and have 320 type. Debating if I should bid 320/D for ease of training or 737/I for cool layovers if it’s available.. anyone have any insight?

737I is a tiny status, but very junior and overnights change month to month. For April it appears to be a wide variety but then other trips you’re doing islands turns for 4 days and overnighting in MIA every night. Efficient. Definitely more exotic than domestic Bus stuff. I wouldn’t worry about the training. I’d be more concerned about spending 6-8 hours in a 737 on the reg.

If you're on the Bus already, you need to stay on the Bus. Going the the 73 is not worth the few overnights here and there. The D/I stuff is eventually going away. Just bid 320s to LGA. You'll be driving to work, with the best seniority movement since LGA is always going to be junior, and the International stuff will get to you soon enough. Plus again, you'll still be comfortable in the "office" of a Bus. Congrats and welcome!

Vacancy award should drop on Friday. My guess is before they finish OE, a new hire will awarded CLT.

Any class drops yet for the April classes? Wondering how long it will take to hold LAX 737 or 320.

So that would take roughly 3-6 months depending on when you start. If a vacancy bid closes while you're on your first week on property, you are in the best-case scenario for faster transfer. Bids are roughly every 3 months.

Default I vs D at AA

I understand there are implications to choosing to become "I" qualified at certain airlines (JetBlue for example). Is the same true at AA? I'm trying to understand how that might impact my life going forward.
