Company's looking at possibly increasing hiring numbers for next year. Another 100-200 depending upon what they decide on and what starting number you use. Someone mentioned that somewhere and I can't find the post.
Next year's plan released to Flt Department typically in mid November. W/b flying to which city pairs is the big driver of the flying plan.
So the decision to increase hiring might not be known until then.

6 month equipment lock for new hires. Base and/or division up to what you can hold. Bid what you want, several people have been released early. On the other hand, I was withheld for 6 months, YMMV. Once JCBA is fully implemented, they can withhold for a year I think. Not sure if that applies to a new hire drop though.

Lock-ins? Equipment yes. Base/division no.
Guys gave switched bases while still in training. That won't happen anymore because the bid award to effective date has increased by a month. So guys should be done with training before their first opportunity to switch bases becomes available.
Eg - October new hires can bid in the job vacancy run closing 11/8. That's effective Feb 2017. Even the October guy who finishes last will be done in late Dec or early Jan.

No lock in for a base transfer , same seat /same ac.. APA also has mutual base exchange ..i.e. LAX guy wants mia/ Mia guy wants LAX ... long as someone is junior to both at both bases , you can swap. It's a pretty good way to move around .
