Yep. That’s my guess. They don’t work weekends and Monday would be a little too late I’d think. Who thinks this will go junior - ish with the holidays? I’m getting mixed answer from other pilots on the line

Thrust levers not set, let’s bump that up to TOGA, and get Flex to WBB 💪🏼

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but those mixed answers are for a reason. You may want to prepare yourself to be disappointed with 15 whole posted vacancies outside of the most senior B category in the company, which has another 10.

Im sure it will happen for you somewhat soon, just not sure potential holiday training will keep enough bidders away for you. But as I’m sure you know, absolutely have your bids in - you can’t get what you don’t bid for.

Training in December can actually be one way to guarantee Christmas off for folks who otherwise might get stuck with a 4-day starting on the 23rd. No one sims on the 25th.

Also a good deal for those who live in ATL. Guaranteed home every night for the month, unless you get sent to MIA.

Pretty sure the 350 still sends some crews there for the 300 series.

There’s also a couple of 757 sims down there, so 400 guys going through ER training could end up there. (I’ll leave the 767-300 WB discussion for another day )
