Doubtful for most. If they bid to the 330 or 350 it’s probably their last aircraft and they can care less about a freeze. If they are younger not many senior pilots want to train on another aircraft in under two years.

Only the top 21 SEA7ERAs can hold 330A or 350A. The other 72% if they AE’d would only be a lateral (or cut) move on pay. Why take a freeze if there’s a chance some more 330 or 350 slots become open down the road.

Sooner or later even the Monopoly guy with the monocle will stop flying greens and either through fatigue or the Brewster millions dilemma stop flying extra. I foresee an epic operational breakdown in the not to distant future.

Scoop.
Jokes on them. I've been hustling since January specifically so I can enjoy the summer and fall off.

Anyone else get an award outside the parameters they bid? Pretty sure I’ll miss my “low number” bid by 2 but still got the award. Small window, I know, but I thought the low number condition was pretty foolproof.

I think those numbers are based on projected category status when everybody is trained. Not just for this particular bid. IN other words, there could be guys in the pipeline that aren't showing up in the numbers yet. Just a guess.... I don't know for sure, but it seems like I have heard that before.

It also counts unfilled vacancies. Ask me how I know

if there are, say, 15 unfilled vacancies from an AE in a category of 100 and you bid 85% or better, you’ll get the award. Because that’s the planned category size. Fun times being the plug

I knew about that, that’s why I used the low number vs percent. But they definitely did not have unfilled vacancies.
