NYC320A doesnt know what the color blue looks like anymore. 0 reserves today and tomorrow, havent seen a blue day in a long time.

Yeah. I was running 120+ hours pay all year in that category.

While averaging 11-13 days worked a month.

Yeah. While good for $$$ being unable to use PB days, move RES off days or drop trips even in February sucks.

Would training for this AE most likely be Late May to early June for this bid? Also for the golden days - it gives you two options, can you can split your six days into two groups of three? if they cant build you a training schedule with your golden days does it just go into the next AE training cycle not pay protected?
thanks

Any gurus able to help out with base swaps on an AE?

If I switch planes but am unable to hold my initial base pick, is it possible to switch bases with the March, or any immediate future AE during training? Or am I to wait until training and OE finishes to switch bases?

Thank you in advance.

You can change bases at any time, including on your first AE. All you need is one day on property and a submitted bid to change bases. Changing planes is another thing entirely, and cannot be done until you have at least 1 year on propety, and maybe 2 depending on your situation.

Lately, base changes have been available to nearly every NH on demand. As hiring slows, that may start to make it harder to move out of some bases, and/or into others.

yes to your first question. UP TO 6.

As to the second: PWA 22.H.2. "If a pilot’s training is delayed due to the pilot’s selection of golden days, the pilot will train in the first available training footprint that does not conflict with their golden days."

Follow up question to this. I’ll be bidding after one year to get out of my aircraft that requires me to be based across the country (west coaster on an east coast based aircraft). I have my bid in with my desired aircraft/bases nearby. Can I be awarded before my 1 year is up to have training occur after a year? For example right now bids are being processed which will have people training 3-4 months from now. My concern is that I won’t be able to be awarded something until after my hire date in which case I’ll need to wait another 3-4 months for training.
