Want what you bid. Delta awards what they wanna award. They may fill a vacancy, they may not. They may backfill, they may not. A pilot leaves a category and you bid his spot, you may find yourself awarded something that wasn’t even posted that you wanted wanted and bid.

Bottom line—bid a plane as a new hire. Then figure out what you want to do. Put that in your preferences. If/when it’s awarded to you, go back to school and learn it and relax for a bit.

Delta does what Delta wants. People here pretend to be in control of their personal lives

Indoc should have a chapter entitled “Aerodynamics for Delta Aviators,” where you learn what makes a Delta jet fly. Differential pressure between the upper and lower wing surface? Nope. Angle of attack or a boatload of cash? Think again. Thrust multiplied by the torque vector of a widget? In fact, no. Asymmetric alignment of the flux capacitors? Not really … It’s a multitude of acronyms! Which is really effing handy, since you can learn them all today and have a new batch churned out by next Monday. Train by bulletin for the new acronyms. AFFE (acronym fun for everyone). It’s a thing; career goal is to avoid having your name encompassed within one!

I’d like 737 NYC. If there aren’t any 737 NYC spots left in my class and I bid for another base’s 737 status, how long until I’d be able to base trade or bid for NYC? Would it be in the next AE? Thanks.
