I don’t work here yet, I’m the July 12 class as well. I’m still waiting on the finger printing stuff though.

There is a lot of backlog due to simulator availability in Miami, some of the classes will be doing their sim in Dallas instead of Miami. Not a lot of 767 sims available for us in Miami.

Three pilots were a no show this week for a class I’m told. I’m not sure if they were able to back fill the slots. But movement is happening and pilots are taking advantage of other opportunities. We took delivery of the first 757, RR and winglets (ex Icelandair), this week but she’s not in service yet. Training to begin in the next few months for differences and sim. They’re working hard to finish the FCOM for it. Last upgrade class awarded had guys with about 1.5 years here. But keep in mind it’s no cakewalk. You can put in for upgrade based on seniority. But you also better study and work hard. I shouldn’t have to say that but alas a few had to learn that the hard way. I’m not going to speak to specifics here but we also have opened Contract ‘21. We have good days and lately we’ve had some rough ones. But those of us here are trying to shed the reputation of being a 36th St. operator. It’s a difficult thing for sure. Only time will tell. Hadn’t posted in a while but have been busy. Good luck to our poolies and applicants.

Flying is 2 main groupings. We have our company flying (Caribbean, Central America) and we have contract flying (DHL, USPS).
The contract flying is largely done by pilots that are "temporary based" in locations other than Miami. Those pilots have commercial travel to/from the work location with lodging for the duration of their days on (usually 16 days on, including travel, so, 14 work days plus 2 travel days). Those "lines" are bid before the regular day-off bids are run.
The "company" flying is mostly from Miami. No hotels, no per diem for time spent in MIA, and no commercial travel to/from your airport of choice. This flying/schedule could be a nightmare for someone trying to commute. Even if you bid your 9 days off in a single block, there's nothing that makes the company add your other 3 days off to the same block. This means a commuter must plan for 19 days away from home until they can hold a temp base line.
That said, to be competitive as an employer in the chosen sector, some adjustment must occur in the coming contract.

We have two types of flying here currently. The first is the closest we have to home basing. That’s the USPS runs and DHL work. They will send out a bid packet to eligible pilots (anybody not in training and signed off from OE). The second is days off bidding. This is where Miami flying is parsed out. You bid your days off and fly what you get. You will not be assigned ETOPS flying until signed off. So bud what you want. I’m senior and I bid both. That way should my desired “line” (using the term very loosely as we technically do not have any here) in temp domicile revert back to days off then I’d at least have had my say. So as the saying goes “always bud for what you want.”
