7/7 Class just got their vacancies:

ATL 320 F/O 13
ATL 717 F/O 13
ATL 73N F/O 4
ATL M88 F/O 20

I didn't think they were going to send them out after the spam blocker issues in the 6/2 class, but this is nice! I mean all ATL comes as a shock but most of my class will be happy with this.

I'm in the 7/7 class; was hoping for DTW. I have heard from several others that it is usually fairly easy to swap bases as later vacancies are made available. Does anybody know how this process works during training? Is it all done in Icrew?

Don't bid the 88 if you want DTW since none our based there. It should not however be hard to get it. Should be another AE mid July.

Airbus/73N have April new hires already transferred into DTW on those fleets

I doubt there is a very large backlog of ATL 717 that wants DTW. Certainlly not more than one or maybe two monthly AE's worth.

OTOH if you are trying to snipe with extreme precision which exact fleet will get you there one bid sooner, that's anyone's guess. I'd still say the 717 will get you there pretty quick as well as with a steady stream of junior pilots below you for a long time.
