Sorry I'm asking so many questions, but where else have they been doing sim training? Can you bid for it?

Msp or ST is all I know of. Bidding is by seniority in class, sorted by date of birth.

So do you bid for sim locations/times?

Yes. New-hires go to MSP for sim.

New hires are going to msp sim. You'll bid on your time slot by seniority. I don't believe location will change considering how cheap TSH is for the hotels, but hey, you can always hope.

Most new hires will train for Sims in MSP, but when they get to 40 a month new hires, they will be forced to put some new hires in Stl.

I'm hearing any additional sim time for the American flying will be in STL. If that is true, I would imagine some new hires would be sent down to STL for training. At least they would get a hotel and per diem then.

Has anyone heard when we will begin upgrading again? It's been VERY quiet lately.

Gotta get a surplus of new FOs trained first... There should be a couple classes soon.

November, but only a few for the rest of 2014. Won't pick up til 2015.
