Thanks for the fast response. If an AE closes in Q1 what would be the effective date to move to ATL? Looking for a time frame if that is even possible X-months?

It’s possible to get the move to Atlanta before you even start sims…. It all depends on timing of the AE. good luck.

AE's have either a 210 day conversion window, or once per year the company can do a 365 day conversion window.

So to answer your questions, somewhere between 1 and 12 months to convert to ATL

Hello, waiting on my class date and scrolling back 20 some pages I don't see much on SEA in here so I'll ask the question. I'm looking to do the I-5 drive from home as my family actually enjoys spending time with me. So best QOL options short vs long term to get me driving to SEA? My number is 80xx so I'm guessing that could help some, when the time comes. Thanks in advance

.

SEA 320 should open next year, though that may happen in tandem with the drawdown of the ER category. Long term, Seattle has a healthy 330 category that offers great QOL.

DWC is right; 1-12 months with our current contract provisions.

For example: I got NYC73NB (NYC 737 FO) out of indoc in January 2020. We had an AE close on January 31st and I was awarded ATL73NB. I finished sim training in late February and OE by mid-March. I was scheduled to convert from NYC to ATL on April first. (Insert COVID & industry meltdown here.). So one full month of the NYC commute is probably your reasonable best case scenario.

The award can happen pretty quickly after your date of hire with an AE about every quarter, but the conversion has a healthy YMMV component.
