you can change types after 12 months if the type you’re on is not available in the base you’re transferring to. So a dtw717 pilot could be awarded slc320 FO after 1 year, because SLC doesn’t have the 717.

Advance Entitlement (AE) has open positions available for everyone on the seniority list to bid.
Whatever positions don’t get scooped up will be offered to noobs.
In your notional new hire class of 50 pilots, they aren’t going to tell you there at 10 NYC 767-400 slots and 40 NYC A220 slots.
They will just provide you with a list of bases/plane combos that are available….767 and 220….no number of positions will be provided to you.

I’m sorry to drag you in, I was being heavily sarcastic.
Someone has to have the drop numbers for this class by now. They literally started today.

Not correct, you can bid to any base after 1 year that you can’t hold your current equipment at on that bid. It might require a two step bid process but is fairly easy to beat the two year freeze. You freeze date starts at award date so effectively a 9 month freeze from training.

To add to the above what they award will also be based on current training capacity available for each fleet. It’s in their best interest to a certain extent to try and award you something you will stay on for a longer period of time. It’s rather easy to manipulate a training freeze that effectively is only 9 months after training completion. Depending on capacity they have some flexibility in the awards.

First, you would have to know how many unbid positions were left from the latest AE and then keep track of every single indoc class to know how many of those unbid positions remain to be filled.
Then if you knew that, you would have to know the company short term sim training capabilities in the 4-6 weeks following your particular indoc date.
One class could have a peanut butter spread of 3-4 planes to every domicile. then next class, Boom....30 x NYC A-220's and 30 x NYC 737's.
Past performance does not guarantee future results come to mind.

I guess I don't see the relevancy of knowing how many of each plane to a particular class.
