ghilis - love the one you're with.... and keep trying with your dream date!

 

Thanks Sliceback. I'm hoping to get the call from AA, but if im left with my #2, its a pretty awesome #2. Although if AA interviewed me and offered me a class date before my DAL interview id cancel the DAL interview. That's how sure I am about AA.

 

Cause Delta is the hot stock right now, but don't forget to buy low and sell high.

 

Im gonna agree with you there. Long term outlook plus up to 1000 seniority numbers better at AA makes it a clear winner for me. But that seniority advantage keeps decreasing with each class...

 

Any gouge on the latest video interview questions?

 

I respectfully disagree.

This isn't some massive expansion push to get on before the music stops. The entire industry is flat to 2-3% growth year over year.

This is driven by retirements. A tectonic plate movement of unstoppable force for the next decade !

All subject to change of course.

 

Today's drop- 10 737 Miami, 8 756 Miami, 8 S80 DFW... Happy to get a 737 Mia spot!

 

Whats's the gouge on MIA 73 vice 75/6? I know a 75/6 guy who says the 73s are getting better international trips

 

Congrats Bluelion, I start in the May 6th class so I may be following in your footsteps. When will you actually start training? Is itimmediately after indoc?

 

If you like the Caribbean, the 737 is the way to go. Provo, Aruba, Grand Cayman, Cancun, Curaçao, Antigua, St Kitts, etc. These are all layovers , too...not just turns. The 737 also does some "South America Lite": Medellin, Cali, and Manaus. Also plenty of Central America such as Belize, San Pedro Sula, Guatemala, etc.

The 75/76 does some Caribbean but much of it has been taken over by the 737. 757 still does St Thomas, Barbados, and St Maarten layovers and maybe a couple others but that's it for Caribbean. Most of the stuff is Caracas, Maracaibo, Bogota, Quito, and the Deep South stuff: most of Brazil, Montevideo, Santiago Chile, etc. Europe stuff is Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, London and Milan.

You'll prob get off reserve slightly faster on the 737, but the 75/76 does go very junior as well. Good luck! Both fleets offer some really fun flying and destinations. It's a type of flying I'm glad I did, now I'm enjoying not commuting on my domestic 737 gig.
