From: 737 FO
Has anyone from the March 22-24 interview been offered a class date yet? I'm coming up on being due for recurrent pretty soon, and I would like to be able to save everyone involved time and money rather than sit through a class at my current company for a week only to turn around and leave.
3/29 - Pool
5/11 - Offered/accepted June 27th 747 class
Hope you hear something soon. I'm due for training as well, so I feel your concern! Looking forward to joining 5Y...

Based on our 767 crewing ratio, how many pilots will we need to hire for this AMZN flying? 400-ish? And what is the 70+ new hire vacancies for on the 74? No new airframes coming, no appreciable block hour increases, and I only moved up 7 numbers on the new seniority list, so what gives?

No class date as of yet. I did tell them during the interview that I preferred the 767 but would take whatever aircraft they needed people in. They perked up when I said that. Maybe they knew about the Amazon thing back then and were secretly recruiting for the upcoming Amazon deal? In any case, I'm in no big rush to get a class date.

Obviously the Captains for those 767s will come from within, so most likely the majority of them will be 747 FOs, thus the need for a bunch of new 747 FOs. Aside from that, the thought around the training center(at least everybody that I've talked to) thinks there's another big deal in the works, so they're trying to get ahead of the crewing levels before that happens. Lots of rumors flying around here, most of which I'm sure you've already heard.

I guess everyone's situation is different, but it is difficult to see why a senior 74 FO would take 76 CA at our rates. Schedule goes to pot, very little raise, seat locked for 3 years, when you could have waited for the 74 and gotten it before that 3 years, thus possibly making more if considering scheduling opportunities, and efficiencies. The break even point on the 76 upgrade makes little sense unless 74 protracts out 4+ years over the 76.

Poolies
So a question for the other poolies floating around. I sent in an email to our contact person and have gotten no response regarding any upcoming questions. Has anyone else tried or gotten a reply, thanks.

I don't mean to be a know it all, because I don't know much, but that's one thing I've looked hard into. A big misnomer around the atlas camp is that all seat locks go away if new aircraft come on property and that's not quite true.
