Rocky, do you think that holds true for getting to ATL quickly too? (i.e. 320)? Start indoc Monday. All choices are NYC. Any suggestions welcomed. Thanks.

Here are the ATL FO vacancies a new hire could get:

7ER: 50
73N: 30
320: 15
M88: 30
717: 0

Just DON'T pick the 717 and you should get there in a reasonable amount of time.

With the AE that just posted you will get there fastest on the 320. Looks like they won't backfill 15 73N slots between SLC and CVG and they are adding 320 positions in SLC.

Thanks Rock!

Now I just gotta pray I get the job and that my 7k(and counting) A320hrs dont mess me up in training...

If you've got 7K 320 hours, you'll end up getting the 88. :eek:

Mike, that is great info! Where/how does one get that for SEA, LAX, SLC?

Thanks and Happy New Year to all!

Login to icrew.
Bid -> Advanced Entitlement -> Posting of pilot vacancies and surplus positions

In case you don't yet have access there was nothing posted for LAX, 40 FO in the 73N for SEA, and 10 A320 F/O positions in SLC.

For those of you who have recently retired from the military and are on 1st year pay, what have banks been preapproving for loan amounts? I don't want to run a hard credit score yet since I probably won't close in 120 days and running the credit lowers the credit (so stupid). Anyway, I want to live in SEA but holy shnikeys who the heck can get a big enough loan to actually move up there? I'm thinking I'll need to spend $700k or so to get the same home I could get for $500k in ATL (which btw coincides with what I spent $370k on in San Antonio...)

Well the VA loan limit in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties is $517,500 with 0 down, so if you have some equity to put down, you'll do fine, otherwise with 20% down on a $700k loan you'd be out of pocket $140K so your better off getting it to the VA limit.

The most surprising thing that a military retiree will discover in their first year at Delta will be TAXES! The tax advantages of military pay system (with all of it's (allowances), coupled with favorable state tax residency, and an occasional stroll thru a war zone really does produce 20 years of tax bliss that quickly evaporates with that first retiree "annuity payment".
