It's basically a year seat lock, effectively.
i do like on the AIP even though it’s DOS+3 years basically, max withhold will be 9 months.

Got it thanks. That’s not too bad.

Which aircraft has the faster movement? Also why is the Bus more desirable? I know the 737 is a dinosaur but really is it that bad?
Step foot in the Airbus cockpit, then step foot in the guppy. Then report back your findings.

It’s actually 18 months if you don’t get your preferred aircraft in indoc. I couldn’t get the AB until my 6 month seat lock was up, and then from the award date it’s another 12 months. Unless you get lucky and they only withhold you for the minimum amount of time (6 months), which we’re not seeing on the NB side right now.

Yea I am 29. Already got the 737 type from SWA. Being stuck on the 737 again for 2 years is not ideal lol.
I can't imagine how painful it must be to be under 30 and at your 2nd career destination. The horror of flying the gasp 737 gasp for 2 whole years. My condolences. I will say a prayer for you tonight you poor soul.

On the other hand my class in April had 48 and only 8 737 spots.
never said it was impossible, but not very likely.

So if I want DFW no matter what, what are my best options and expectations? I’m 35 so hopefully younger class group

Don’t expect to be one of the older guys. I’m 41 and 23 guys are older than me in class.
Also don’t expect DFW right away, but according to everyone it should be doable within 6-8 months.
