Went back and looked, and it did. Good to know, I’m not always the best at the math for the 30/168

LCA Bidding?

To all the WB gurus out flying the line……… is it possible to get bought off on the pacific dual crewed flying if the LCA is doing OE?
Seems to me with two full crews this would be an option, but since we are just spooling up on this I am not sure what the status quo is on this.
Any thoughts on the subject?

You may be the senior FO up until the 5pm PCS run the day prior, only to find that a senior FO swapped a primo trip to the junior FO for "your" trip buy. Some senior FOs will even call up the junior FO on an OE trip to make the offer. The ATL 350 domestic trips can be hidden gems, because they want short legs for experienced international pilots who need landings more than crossings. I've seen them buy off both the A and B positions of domestic trips just to get landings.

Is there a good way for folks on the outside to see projected upgrade times? Specifically interested in 320/73N in MSP and ATL, as well as time to hold 330 in either seat in both bases.

honestly, there’s not an effective way of predicting it for a new hire. Sure, someone hired 6 months ago has been awarded NYC7ER, but that doesn’t mean someone hired today will have the same option in 6 months. Similarly, MSP and ATL 320A are fairly senior compared to other bases, but a 4-year upgrade in those bases means nothing since there’s 4000 pilots between those 4-year captains and a new hire.

I was hired at a regional that had 11-month CRJ upgrades. I spent almost 7 years in the right seat waiting for the first possible upgrade. Today’s number doesn’t mean much.

that said, the plug ATL320A this month is an oct21 hire.

ATL73NA is mar2022.
ATL330B is mar20
Msp73NA is sep17
msp320A is jul16
msp330B is dec16.

oofff said it well, but to add to that, MSP is our most senior base right now. I’m guessing it’s going to be a long time before anyone hired today sees anything more than NB FO in MSP.

all of the below are based off projections after everyone converts and the total number of pilots on the list today…

jr CA in MSP was hired in 2019 and has about 4.500 pilots junior to them

jr MSP330 FO was hired in 2017 and has about 5,500 pilots junior to them

ATL junior 320 CA has about 3,500 junior to them, 73N about 2,500.

Comrades, what are the crew rest facilities on the -300 and -400 like?

The same, new interior mod lie flat seat with a door and a curtain. Some of the 300's haven't been remodeled and have the older lie flat seats with curtain but no door. New interiors have CR seat at 4D, old ones they are on the left.

IMO Delta One better on 767 than 330, but 330 pilots get a bunk so doesn't really matter.
