I was hired in the December 5th of 2011 class and I know that there are close to 30 ahead of me on the 767. I don't know the exact number without looking at the list.

 

Thanks for the info. I was just curious since this will effect folks looking to move out of ANC and other bases since those hired prior to Jan 2013 be senior to many 747 FOs. I think the last class was about Jan 2013.

CaptainV: For those staying on the 767 and not moving do you think they're staying to wait for more seniority on the 747? It would seem their QoL for base preference and schedule would be much better if they remain on the 767 and a great deal of folks above them move over to the 747. In addition to that I find it interesting that there could be a few new hires on the 747 due to 767 folks remaining on the 767.

 

I know everyone in my spot is anxiously awaiting the call. I've reread the email 10 times to make sure I didn't miss anything. As far as I can see, I take the test, email a new resume to HR and email the NHPS form to the NHPS address. No need to call/email and make sure that all came in, right?

I interviewed yesterday with 9 other gentlemen. HR told us that e-mails would be sent to candidates within 2 weeks. She told us that we would get 1 of 3 statements in that e-mail. 1. Hired immediately; 2. Pooled for a future class; or 3. Not interested

 

What apps do you use?

 

Out of curiosity, what do you guys write in your email when you send your PAQ and resume? An intro of who you are?

 

Bit of a change, used to be either a FedEx or UPS letter. And contrary to urban legend, one place didn't mean a "yes" and other didn't mean a "no".

 

I know some are waiting for the 777. Can't bid it if you jump to the 747 and get locked. Others - like me - prefer to be senior on the 767. The primary factor is $$$ for those wanting to jump, not QoL. JFK 767 is a good gig because none of the trips start there, so you rarely have to leave/come home on a day off. That adds up. Plus, very recently, fun AMC trips.

I prefer CVG because I hardly ever get schedule changes on DHL trips, and I still like short legs and lots of landings. I like having my first choice on my work footprint, training and vacations. After 3 years, we could be senior in ANC (not even if you paid me), 50% in HSV, bottom third in CVG, bottom 10% everywhere else, but can't hold IAH. Other than HSV/CVG, i don't see base seniority getting tons better.

Beyond a November 747 class, I don't think you'll see any new hires going to the 747 for a long while. And honestly, the company should offer the slots to the guys hired in Oct. 2011, we've put our time in.

 

Who cares when they run the vacancy bid; if our seatlock is expired before the announced training date shouldnt those be awarded the transition? For me, i love the seniority and schedule on the 767, but it is hard to pass up an extra $20k... Also, i live in Cincy so hoping DHL on the 747 wont be to bad!

 

Maybe I'm misreading this, but under the CBA section 24.K.8 all seat locks are off if a new plane is announced. So you could jump to the 747 and then bid the 777 a few months later. Assuming that white elephant ever materializes.
