CLT Bus Wait
 

10/01 Indoc class here, no CLT for our class so I chose the Bus in PHL. Got CLT as a preference for June. My first trip was in Dec, so it will be a six month wait. Dec and Jan classes had some CLTs right out of Indoc, and as the previous post said, they were all A320. I can drive to CLT so that’s better for me, but PHL is an arguably a better base. Better seniority and a much easier airport to navigate. And while the CLT leadership seems fine, I like the PHL leadership.

You definitely want the bus in CLT. 737 is small and senior. Unfortunately the bus in CLT has more regional type flying (3 & 4 leg days).

Also, take a Bus anywhere if you desire CLT 320 eventually. If you end up on the 73 you WILL get withheld and itll be a year+ before youre actually there; all while watching new hires go into a seat you bid for 6+months earlier...

What status doesn't have 3 leg days? Narrowbody of course.

If you find out let me know ASAP.

LGA airbus has lots of 1-1 two days and numerous other trips that are2 legs a day

I’m down to about 40-50% bus FO in CLT and prioritizing 2 legs over 3 in PBS has gotten more complicated. Instead of an RDU turn and leg to Florida for 9 hours you might go to MIA, sit for 3 then off to LAX for a 12 hour day.

If reigning in the optimizer is impossible witchcraft can we at least get more PBS layers to sort through the garbage a little easier? No? Ok got it thanks.

Airbusdriver has flash cards again....for bus.....

I'll let you know if you're junior to me..... ;)
