We even bid aircraft training start dates. The class before and after me did the same. Not sure but things might have changed since your class. We could have been an anomaly as well.
Day 1 was at HQ for my class. On Day 2 at the PHX Training Center, they brought the sheet in around 9 or 10. Took about 30 minutes and we all knew in real time.

Same for me. I think they told us what was available on the first day so we could think about what our bid would be.

When are the new hires going to go to Dallas for Indoc? I thought I heard that would start happening quickly.

You have to watch that STAT CODE closely and make sure you aren't bidding E190 F/O instead of capt!

The 75/76 capt went pretty junior(only about 28 years) on the last bid. I bet some guys forgot they had it in there.
Captain went "junior" at 28 years? Maybe you mean 18. If 28 years is junior, a lot of us don't have much to look forward to.

We put our bid in first thing on a Day 1 at HQ. they handed us the sheet with no explanation and told us to bid.

No I meant 28. Aren't you flying on the east system? If so, that shouldn't be a shock. That was for the 75/76. For A320 I think it's running about 25-26. But there is nobody between that and 16 years.


I don't think it will be the same for you guys with over 800 age 60+ guys on the east

Pretty sure that when 28 years is junior, that's a good thing for the REALLY junior people.

Very,very good. There are no guarantees in this business but I believe you guys will have the career we all dreamed of.

I am hopeful, but not ignorant of the past. Everyone I meet says what you said as well. I know for sure that for the first two years, a 1999 hire was thinking the same thing.

I wish the best for all of you. I feel lucky being hired in '86. The guys hired in '88-'89 have hit every bump in the road.
