If they went unbid you could have had the slot now.

The reference you need is what seniority number the pilot is. The junior 777 FO (excluding instructors) is currently #9014.

If you are a newbie, all you need to do is move up 3000 numbers and you might be able to hold it.
At current retirement rate should move up 3000 numbers in about 7 years. Not to bad in my opinion compared to many.

100% realistic. My October class had a guy who bid LAX 73N 2 days after he got his NYC 73N and he was awarded LAX. Couldn't have been much more junior than that .

Except getting it in class. As soon as they get the NYC base staffed (if they ever do), you will see a handful of LAX and SLC slots in class.

Not bad at all. They should have great careers.

I was started indoc in Nov got ATL 73N. AE came out same week and I bid LAX 73N and it was awarded. My LAX base takes effect in Feb/March.

10 of 13 LAX 73N B openings went unfilled. Hopefully LAX is a good base choice going forward considering DAL is opening the SEA 73N base. Combine this with the fact there are probably guys living in SEA that are based in LAX and SLC which means now they can avoid the commute and they will subsequently vacate LAX (and SLC). This might lead to new hires getting LAX (and SLC) out of indoc on the 73N. I think it could be possible especially since so many new 737's are joining the fleet, but I am new here so don't take my word for it.

Default best places for high schools in SEA and SLC

Greetings,
Going to move to either SEA or SLC and looking to see where the best places were for high schools in either place. Looking primarily in Bothell/Kirkland/Issaquah on the Northeast side of Seattle, Gig Harbor/University Place to the south.

As for SLC, I have heard Draper and Park City are nice.

Thoughts from this most wise peanut gallery?

PM me if you have ideas. Cheers.

I did a bit of house hunting in SLC and my favorite area was Mountain Green. Huntsville, Eden, and North Ogden were all appealing as well.

There are a handful of us that went to indoc in June that are living in SLC. PM if you want to talk or come out to look around. I have also lived in Seattle area. Both good choices depending on what your looking for and how much you want to spend on housing and in traffic commuting.

If you are LDS (Morman) Draper is good. Definitely a Morman strong hold.

Park City. We found it somewhat cost prohibitive but that all depends on your personal situation. And what your looking for in a house. Schools good. We have many friends who live in Park City and on average they make 7 to 50 times what I make income wise. They live in a different world.

We live in Ogden area. Great city. Small townish. Like it enough to be building keeper house nearby. Over all Weber/Morgan schools are fair. Low ACT test scores school wide. In fact only avg 3 to 5 kids over 30 on ACT per class. With that said. Both my kids had 33's on ACT and 2250ish on SAT. and we're excepted to various top 50 colleges nationwide. They attended Weber schools for 7 years, and are doing fine at their respective universities. Not sure if it helps but that is my 2 cents. PM me for more info
