Hey dog, for the last few classes, no one has gotten a choice. They try to put you in what you want but said ultimately go you where they need you. The MD11 ANC group usually knows prior to class.
Welcome to the -8, Luckydawg! It is a great airplane, and the instructors are top notch. Many fear from the old technology, but, let me tell ya, the thing is a tank! Enjoy!

Welcome to the world known as UPS. There are many things that will never make sense to you. Just sit back and enjoy the ride...

The same thing happened to me 2 years ago. It kinda sucked commuting to SDF for the year but it went by pretty quick. The good thing is when you to come to ONT you wont have to go to training on a new plane.

Yea...

We need more F/O's in ONT bad.
It's so bad, my line improvement requests were denied due to inadequate reserve coverage.

Rook, I am almost embarrased to say that I swam for a whole 5 days! I had a class date 10 days after I interviewed. I have never claimed to be unlucky my friend.

Well, you will get the A300 or the 8. If it's the 8, I'll see you. Congrats!

I sure hope it is the A300 or DC8 because those of the SDF bases available. Just want to sit at home on reserve.

If you get the A300, you won't be sitting home on reserve. The A300 is so understaffed that reserves are flying full months, and the company is junior manning captains to the right seat.
