Is domestic vs international part of the initial six month seat lock? In other words, if one gets LGA 737 D in the initial award, would it then be impossible to get MIA until the seat lock is up since it's all international?

No, that does not factor in the seat lock.

Curious about your statement here. I’m a new hire on the A320 and haven’t began groundschool yet. I’m already typed on the bus so hopefully training is a little easier. I do consider the 737 but the seat lock thing is bothersome. I hear the 737 flying is better overall. Why do you suggest one stay put on the bus?

Base first, airplane second. Destinations come and go. If you are already comfortable in an Airbus than I would stick with it. There is no room in that 737 cockpit and doing those 6 hour flights from JFK to Cali can be a real pain.

I’ve flown 737 before and even tho I don’t have anything agains it…99% of the people keep recommending the Airbus, so there must be a good reason for that :)

My drop email mentioned that you bid by seniority, do they mean age? I’m 36 and I really want that bus.

There are 400+ FOs in PHL. The 6 mos planning #, last I saw, has been floating around 346 or 347. The pattern seems to be to get fat in prep for the next vacancy. They'll have 30 or 40ish bid out and then the new hire tap will get opened again.

I know, I'm PHL based. I just want more people under me. No pun intend lol.

If you've been here long enough, you'll know nothing is 100% guaranteed.
