New CJO here awaiting class dates. I’m curious if anyone out there has any insight as to how many people are in each new hire class, and how the airframes rack and stack in seniority order.

I found a few older posts on here regarding class size, but nothing super recent. As far as airframes go, my last four is low so I think I’ll be picking from whatever plane is last or at least toward the bottom. I known that a couple of the airframes are only available at a few bases, so I wasn’t sure if that typically factors in to how people bid. Any words of wisdom out there?

No one cares how much instrument or night time you have and how many landings.

That is too many years of flying to log manually. The only option is getting an CSV file you can import or pay someone to enter your times. Be careful with the logbook programs out there. One of the main popular ones sold their sole to the devil of a VC firm. They have simple bugs now that never get fixed. Do your research.

Looking at the LA base, what’s the flying look like comparing the airbus to the 73 along with progression in seniority? At this time, I am torn between the two as I know new a320’s will be coming in which would be nice to fly but I hear 73 is the way to go for better trips.

thank you all for the answers! Is the 7ER the 757/767? Also I would be commuting, both New York and Atlanta are nearly the same distance from me and I feel like LGA would hold a line quicker than Atlanta? Or would they be similar in time?

7ER is all 757 variants and the 767-300ER

765 is the 767-400.

NYC isn't just LGA. Its LGA, EWR and JFK.

7ER NYC will make that 95% JFK, 5% the other two, Narrowbodies are month to month but I'm personally running a 50/50 LGA-JFK split, but I bid avoid EWR.

Also mainline vs rj commute factors in. 9 mainline a day to atl and 3 RJ to nyc? I'd choose ATL.

14 RJs, 6 DL ticketed, to nyc and 3 757s to atl a day? Nyc

Hey,
I have a question regarding the background check. They recently changed their background check vendor to Sterling. Are they still sending out a pre-cleared mail after 2-3 weeks?
Thanks for sharing your experience!

Read the post ten up from yours, Fangs lays it out perfectly.

I just went through mine a few weeks ago. CJO on a Thursday and by the following Friday I got the automated email saying I was cleared. There seems to be a pretty lengthy wait after being cleared to hear back from Delta about assigned class dates. Still nothing for me... If anyone has recently been given a class date and feels like updating on the timeline from CJO to the email where they give you dates, feel free to post!

Anyone know what dates are available? For example if they start on a Monday every other week? etc

Classes start on Tuesday. It seems to be averaging about five weeks from clearance email to class date offer and about twelve weeks from interview to class start date. Supposedly, class sizes will increase in January so those timelines should condense.

It has been over 90 days since the I got the top tier email. Any updates from anyone? Thanks!
