No my point is it will be the FAA not UPS who will decide. If the FAA allows it there is contract language to allow backseaters to come to the front seat again.

Got the call today. Not sure which class that might leave me in, but looking forward to working with my fellow new hires and the professionals that have built Brown.

B-767 SDFZ (3)
B-767 ONT (10)

All FO seats.....no FE seat on the Diesel 8.

I'm sure I'll see some of you guys there. Shaggy, you sure changed your avatar fast!!!
How does UPS decide who gets what? Do you have any input to where you want to go?

Buz asked me on the phone what my preferences were, and told me that new-hire class seniority is determined by age. In other words, the oldest guy is most senior, and gets first choice.

Actually, we use a dartboard.

Hey Archie, sorry to here you won't be freezing your privates off in ANC this winter! Maybe next year! LOA! You are one lucky devil. Welcome to the last job you'll ever have - hopefully in your own backyard.

Thanks. Can't say that I'm all too upset about not getting ANC. I've got SoCal blood in my veins, and any temp below 50 degrees F, I've got my winter parka zipped up.

Unless there are 10 guys older than me in class that want ONT (chances somewhere between slim and none), then I should get my first choice. See ya around campus!

Not to rain on your parade, but don't count on it. I know a guy that lives in San Diego that got SDF 757. Another dude in his class lives in MIA and wanted SDF 757 got ONT 757. I guess they asked if they could just switch bases and the company freaked! Poor guy from San Diego has been stuck commuting to SDF for over a year while new hires go into ONT because of our wacky bidding system. Hopefully you'll get ONT but don't hold your breath. In any case, keep us updated and keep the ONT FOs comin'!!!!

P.S. Another thing....I have heard of them switching airplanes on people while in class....you might even end up in ANC.
