At the road shows they said no new bases, no base closures, & a positive AE. Looking like Sep/Oct time frame from what I've heard.

59 guys in the class?

20 compass guys and 9 mesaba guys wont actually be there. They are being withheld 3 months

I'm wondering if there are more vacancies then people in the class.

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks RiddleEagle.

1 XJ saab DTW captain will be there in August. He was the only one not held back according to our award notice.

Hey. How do the Compass and Mesaba guys get their seniority at DAL?

Does their seniority carry over or do they go by their SSN's?

Also, when they get held back then return for a class can they exercise their seniority to bid a higher paying a/c if they can hold it. Or, do they have to keep what they got in the initial class?

So a/c drop means? Aircraft assignment? Just wondering why do we call a a/c drop. Thanks

So you are replaced on a trip for OE and are notified of the dropped trip without any replacement flying (so far). Just how "available" do you have to be to be assigned recovery flying? I couldn't quite nail that down reading the PWA. When and how often are you required to answer the phone/check your line and for how long? Anyone?

Air Force Pilot Training. When you got your initial assignment out of training, it was at the O Club or other such venue and it was known as assignment drop.
