the results will probably be out in a week or so, there’s a good chance your bids will be based on the results of the AE

The problem is on a bid this size there will be new hire spots available in most narrow body categories. Where the company chooses to place new hires can’t really be judged beyond the fact most will be NYC. Aircraft types are based on sim availability and IOE constraints. New Hires smooth the pipelines out since the company gets to place them with relatively short notice.

It’s also like trying to fill a bucket with holes in it, and NYC is that bucket. The natural tendency for pilots to bid their way out of commuting (traditionally to NYC), and there are so many openings available, the company has of late (ATLM88B excepted), generally only offered NYC to new hires in order to keep it staffed and allow conversions by more senior pilots to other bases. By the time the company gets anywhere near to filling the NYC categories, we hold another AE, allowing many of those pilots to bid to other places, thereby sustaining the demand for new bodies to New York.

In the last big hiring wave, by mid 2015 new hires were getting all kinds of crazy stuff. My class was half New York stuff and half 73n and 7ER to Atlanta. It kinda just depends on what needs filling that week. They were giving out so many ERs to new hires that people were waiting forever to get their OE and TOE done.
