Pdk is a good place. It can go from quiet for a few min to fill blown ATC video game in extreme hard level. G6s mix with c172s with BE58S with helicopters, sometimes blimps, yellow sought song biplanes and the guy on his first solo. Occasionally someone slides off the runway. Just. Like. AtL.

Seat Lock/Training Freeze question:
If a person incurs a 2-year seat-lock due to bidding a different a/c on this next AE, then a new category opens (i.e. DTW 350A/B) how does bidding the new aircraft/category affect the current seat-lock? Is it an additional 2-years, on top of our current freeze or does the person just incur a "new" 2-year freeze? Thanks in advance.

c. during which the pilot will (unless declared eligible by the Company) be ineligible to be awarded another AE with an earliest conversion date falling within the freeze period (other than to a new or reestablished category) for which qualification training is required.
Nothing about incurring more freeze.

Avoiding air turbulence may soon get easier - Jun. 16, 2016

Sweet. Do the current EFB's utilize gogo? If It's like my last gig you'd have to ask a flight attendant or passenger to describe the radar picture to be legal.

Since it is a new category, I don't think you add the two freezes. I think that is only if you are in a freeze and get a Captain bid. It is on page 2-5 of the PWA.

I seem to recall a pilot who bid NYC B717 Captain and then, on the next AE, hopped over to NYC A330 F/O. That is probably 40-45 months of category freeze right there. On the bright side, he/she won't have to worry about filling out AE preferences for a while...until the A350 or CSeries comes along (or that long-rumored MSP 73N category opens). 😊

I called CR a few bids ago because I was thinking of bidding ATLM88A (so glad I didn't), and I was gonna use the new MSP73B as my escape route if I hated it but wanted to make sure I wouldn't have an 3+ year freeze if I did.
They said I'd only have a 2 year, not 2+ the original. FWIW.

New category= no freeze.
First upgrade while still under another freeze= freezes added together.

I've been looking at these friggen ads so long I'm about to apply to be an Emirates pilot. How do I get these dang things to go away? They look pretty desperate. Accidentally touch the ad while you're scrolling and it pops up. I need some tech help.
