June 8th, TT email. Still waiting.

 

-Applied November 26 (did not meet turbine requirement when applying but it was recommended by members of Delta pilot selection I met while attending ATP-CTP at Delta to apply anyway and keep updating regularly)
-Top Tier email June 13.

Haven't heard anything since. Looks like I'm not alone which is comforting, I guess. Certainly a challenging wait but I'm confident it'll be worth it in the long run.

 

how much turbine did you receive your top tier email at?

 

pretty much in the same boat. Got top tier 6/10 and radio silence. Around 750 turbine

 

It was about six or seven weeks for me in between top tier and the assessment invitation. There's anecdotal evidence out there that availability date might play a role. A lot of people seem to get the assessment invite when they're 2-4 months out from availability (with of course exceptions for further out and closer in).

 

899 TPIC, 2050 TT when I got my Top Tier email. Currently at 972 TPIC and 2143 TT. ATP written in hand but no certificate

My availability "date" is 2 weeks notice.

Just updating Airline Apps literally daily and hoping for the best...

 

Hello, Quick question, I got 13k tt, about 7k pic jet on Airbus, and right now 1k Boeing, could someone know how possible is to get the Seattle base, and get the Airbus fleet as a New Hire? or if this question has already been answered before could someone guide me to where to find it

how do you know during the process which Base you are awarded and the fleet?

thank you

JC

 

Time is irrelevant to base assignment. Indoc class seniority goes in inverse order of last-4 SSN (9999 is best). About a week (?) before Indoc starts, the company sends out an email with a “these are your choices”. You rank order them, and find out before Indoc starts what base/fleet you are assigned. A lot of the posts in this thread and other NH threads have the “choices” for each class.

Getting SEA in that process is possible, but varies. Getting Airbus is very possible at a different base. We are currently having monthly vacancy bids, so a “base swap” is very possible quickly (but no guarantees). It probably won’t take long, just make sure, if you really want SEA, to rank 320, 73N, or 220 highest in your choices. If you get the 717 or 7ER (757&767-300), it will be at least a year before you can get to SEA due to seat locks.

Good luck, there is a TON of information here, even in this very thread, just start reading and you will pick up a lot.

 

thank you very much, that info is very helpful!!!!!! i will keep reading

 

Airbus went to the top of the bottom half in seniority (if that makes sense) in my indoc last month. Generally the planes went WB, Airbus, Boeing. If the base of your choice isn't available in your drop, try to grab something that is based there and you'll get there soon.
