Hiring Update
 

Hi Guys, some good info on here, thanks for the tips. I did my tech & HR interview last week via Teams, E-3 applicant. I was told 7-12 working days to get a response from the company. Does anyone know if this is still the case, the suspense is killing me...

I was also told they are hiring for all fleets, so there's a good chance you will get what you want, but does anyone know the timeframe from interview to job offer/class date? Any information is greatly appreciated.

Was told the next day after interview. . Wanted 747, was assigned to 767. Depends on your experience where you’ll be assigned. Good luck!

Hey guys. I have the teams meetings scheduled next month. Can anyone shed light on the process of being assigned an aircraft and base? Additionally, I’m hoping for 67 out of TPA; where could I go to learn about the type of flying at that base? I am actively picking through all the threads here as well. Thank you.

Based on your experience, preference and above everything else, whatever their needs are at the moment, you get the airframe.
each fleet has a junior domicile, for 76 I think it’s either CVG or ONT. Then based on seniority, you could get to TPA eventually.
FlightAware TPA will let you see the routes.

thank you for the quick reply. In your opinion, what airframe should I pursue to be FL based soonest?

Probably 777. Definitely not the 747, which is the most senior in MIA. But it shouldn’t get an eternity to get TPA if 76 is what you want.
But the advice I can offer is, choose based on type of flying or any other factor, because bases come and go in a heartbeat.

i’m thinking ease of commute and where I might want to live in domicile are priorities over aircraft. MIA & TPA are relatively easy commutes for me. Maybe I’m wrong, there’s a lot I don’t know about your world. Thanks for your quick reply, cheers.

I’ll add to this (as someone recently assigned to one of the FL aircraft that has followed bid packages). TPA was relatively senior on the initial bid when it announced, but it’s been trending more junior since. I believe the seniority to hold is now around 18 months - if not less. 777 had new hires assigned to Miami a few months ago after it first opened but I don’t believe that’s the case any longer.

My guess is that’s mostly because there are some well paying lines on the 777 (although also some MMG) and the 767 in TPA is mostly Amazon stuff (although there’s new international stuff to Europe) that pays MMG and/or CRT.

TL;DR folks be following the money.
