UPS Jan 29th Class
 

Well, I talked to Buz the other day, and I'm in the Jan 29th class. He said that the following seats/domiciles are available:

A-300 SDF (7)
DC-8 SDF (2)
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!!!:)

10 ONT FOs. Wooooo hoooo! Keep em comin'

Arch,
I had to bro, not having a job sucked! Look me up when you get in, first beer is on me!

Congrats Guys

Congrats everyone! Anyone know if there are any dates set for Feb classes yet?

Congrats Archie, I took to wiz quiz and was told to expect the 29 Jan or a class in FEB. I look forward to talking to you guys.

Good Luck

MANY of the new hires are going to the right seat because the back seats are currently clogged with former captains over age 60. Many of these fine aviators waited for our new contract to get ratified last fall before deciding to retire, now many are waiting to see if the mandatory retirement age gets changed to >60.

If a NH does go to the FE spot, it will be a very junior slot that won't move much until allowed to upgrade to a window seat. Contractually, you can't upgrade while on probation unless the company allows it. They haven't been allowing it lately except for the new ANC domicile opening bid(?).

Some of us have been released early, and we are all pay protected however.

Newhire FEs USED to be pay protected. That was under the old contract and does not apply we have been told. So FEs from the Oct 10th and Nov 16th classes will NOT be pay protected in their second year.

So here's to getting released early!

Are you sure? That blows!
