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.

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.

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.

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.
