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!!!

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(?).

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!
