Or if you are one of those types that just NEEDS to be a captain.

Did any OTS new hires attend job fairs? If so, which ones and how many?

It used to be at year one or somewhere near that timeframe you could either go to left seat 190 reserve or hold a line on the small Bus, now at one year you might be able to hold 190 left seat reserve or maybe right seat small bus, but still reserve. So it's not like it was before, now the question is would you rather fly the small bus right seat and get some red eyes on your schedule, or do the left seat 190 and get a few 5 leg days here and there.

At 1 year now you l'll be junior and on short call reserve on both planes so the pay rate becomes more important.

What is still true is the 190 is only in PHL and the seats will destroy your back; whereas the small bus is nice and comfortable and is in DC and CLT too...

In early 2017 it will be one company. Be careful about triggering lock-ins that will prevent you from bidding different bases/equipment next year if you're not in your base of choice.

You'll be able to bid whatever your seniority will hold once SLI/FOS is complete. One year LOS should be on reserve, or maybe a junior line holder on the AB in MIA?

As long as there is a vacancy in your desired base and position.

And you're not limited to only bidding LUS bases.

Question... is it true off-the-street pilots bid before flow pilots in new hire class? If so does anyone know exactly how it works.. Thanks

Don't think that was the way it was done last Monday when the new class started. At least not from what I gathered after talking to somebody in the class. It was simply age.

Yes Age is correct and then it's age between the two bids LAA/LUS for bidding training slots.

Thanks guys! Someone mentioned off-the-street bid before flow, I was just curious if anyone has been through the process.
