Prepare Yourselves... 2021 AEs

This has been going on for at least the last 7 years. That said, a vast majority of the time I was told the night before.

Several years ago now but the last 2 times I was bought off, they made me show and the LCA made the phone call at check in. The first time I signed in via the new at that time geofenced web portal. I learned not to do that and just meet the LCA because that made a new 10 rest requirement and I missed a substantial slip request that reported later that day. Old info but I've been told it's still valid. DYODD

The percentage calculation or line holder estimate are based on final category size. You may be waiting a year to actually get to your qualifier. Let's use ATL 350B for example. The current size is 55 with 58 vacancies taking the category size up to 113 on this bid. You may be awarded at your qualifier, say 50% for example, but upon conversion you are at or near the plug waiting on 57 pilots junior to you to complete training. Selecting "convert after junior" will ensure the bottom of the category is in place prior to your arrival. This is my preferred technique when bidding for an expanding category that doesn't have many people junior to me there already.
Any guesses on 7ER A lineholder seniority in NYC or ATL when the dust settles?

True dat. And PS to work, but early reports on the east coast suck for the rest of the country.
