36 of 41 7ER FO SLI Instructors will now be able to hold captain on the ER with this AE. I don’t know the numbers on other fleets but I’m sure it’s significant. Now's a great time to consider becoming an SLI. 7ER is still expecting to open the hiring window in June and they expect to hire a “sizable number”.

It's a lot of work, especially during the checkout process, but if you enjoy teaching it can be very rewarding.

But on that note, how may folks will reconsider applying since they can now once again hold Capt and/or WB somewhere in the system?

New guy question here... is commuting to instructor duties common and if so, what does that schedule look like? Always enjoyed sim instructing while active duty but no plans to move out of Michigan so just wondering if that’s a realistic option some day.

I've got 1200 hours in the ER, 3.5 years at Delta, granted 1 and counting has been UNA/Mil Leave. Is this something that if it opens while you are out on Mil Leave you are SOL?

I live a 1 leg to ATL (commute out of ORF) just curious how workable it is without PS commuting vs being a 75-85% 7ER FO in NYC when I get back from Mil Leave late this year.

I know lots of guys who commute to the training department and at least in the past you could set your schedule up for commuting. The one thing to be aware of is technically you owe income taxes to the state of GA if you are a training department employee. If GA taxes are less than MI taxes it could be a good thing. If you live in FL or TN it’s a bad thing.

Have you checked to see your seniority forecast since this bid? I may be mixing you up with someone else, but your current seniority number might be 10xxx? If so, you’ll be well above 50% on the ER in New York (per widgetseniority analysis).

To the person who asked about commuting to the job...
I would say 80% are NOT commuters.

you owe 17 days MINIMUM. and since Corona, my SLI friends have been working 20+ days several months. Not great if a commuter.

if you like instructing, it’s a GREAT job as a local. I would say probably an average job as a commuter. If you could hold WB B instead, and you’re already a commuter, that might be easier on family/commute

I think I'm just under 11,000 now but Army IT blocks DeltaNet.

Can't let those wily warrant officers try to go to the airlines you know.

You will be safely north of 50% seniority, but I have no idea exactly where that falls, how quickly or slowly the company does the backfill behind you, or what your bid pack and awards will look like. If you want a relay from widgetseniority, feel free to PM me and I'll take a snapshot or two for you to judge your level of predicament/opportunity.

you would be ~70% NYC7ERB based on the last AE but that does not include the fact that 188 positions went unfilled and some/most will likely be filled by NHs
