Do you know how its determined who gets what airplane/base in each class? Are they automatically putting all the transoceanic/transport guys in Anchorage or do they rack and stack everyone based on the interview and you pick in order?? Or is it something else??

Thanks

I'm not positive, but I believe it's based on date of birth (oldest in class gets first pick)-- with the exception being who gets the MD11 ANC. That's assigned to heavy iron drivers only.

Awesome! I've got two below me already on the DC8! (:)Check out the new avatar :)) I thought the next class was mostly ANC. Glad to see a mix.

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.

"757/767 ONT: 5"

Yea...

We need more F/O's in ONT bad.

Most of the time you don't get to pick aircraft type or base. HR will pick and it DOES NOT go by date of birth.

Buz asked my preferences in base and aircraft. Maybe that was my bid. He said they do their best to honor your request but sometimes need trumps that.

so there are still guys getting classes without heavy time?

I live there but just got Z this week. I guess it does not make sense to give me ONT just a few weeks prior to the 5 ont's they will have in June. All this does it load planes up with unnecessary commuters.....still happy though,,

You bet! RJ only boy here. I think there is at least one more other like me in the 6/4 class. Time will tell if we are worthy but I like my chances! :)
