Well I just got home from a trip and checked. There are a total of 81 guys senior to me with the bid in so far.
67 of which have it as one of their top 3 choices.
So far so good. I was encouraged by the scheduling email that said, basically, since it's a new category, it will be awarded in seniority order regardless of whether one bids it via AE, VD, or MD. 6 days to go!
Sounds like a lot of the longer Asia trips will be out of SEA............I might see you up here?

Just trying to figure things out. As Scambo says we should be flying Cost index and air speed on a transpac and that was what we were getting. But then yesterday we got the constant .85 mach with no changes in cost index. Funny thing is we plugged in ECON(the old way we used to fly) and is gave an arrival time of 3 minutes earlier. Next time will call the dispatcher to see what the reason is. Probably trying to make up time.

Guys,
I have a silly question on pilot hiring and flow through from Compass and Mesaba.
Will their pilots be given an interview or will they be hired straight into classes without any interview process?
Thx

flowthroughs dont have to re-interview. They're initial interview was their interview for DAL.

Thanks Keenster! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Are you sticking with the 744? As the others mentioned, in ICREW, you go BIDS, ADVANCE ENTITLEMENT then it its the third choice Unclesam said. It's a nice tool to get an idea of where you stand but don't take it to the bank. That number only show the pilots senior to you that have a bid in as an AE. It does NOT include pilots who only have in a VD or MD. Nor can you tell if any one has put in qualifiers such as "reg line only" etc.
Guys can look at the total number and get discouraged from bidding but you just never know and, generally speaking, you can semi-discount the number of pilots that have the bid in but it's lower than their 3rd choice. You do have to take into account some guys who bid stuff they know they cannot hold but most do not do that.

Is it true there is a pack of wild dogs running around JFK's perimeter? All lost in transit?
