Got a CJO Monday, and told to expect an 18 Aug class date. They are running 3 classes in Aug.

These answers are probably elsewhere on here, but if anyone knows quickly, I'd appreciate it. How does the drop work? When do you choose (or get chosen) for which aircraft and which location? And how long does the training take?

They come into your indoc class with the vacancies (NYC 73N B, DTW 717 B ...) and you bid on them. As with everything from this point to the end of your career, seniority rules.

Thanks. And about how long does your indoc class take?

2 weeks (M-F then M-Th) I think.

If you're asking about how long you have to decide what to bid, quite often its done and finished the first day or two at the latest.

Correct, indoc is M-F then M-Th. Spouse dinner is generally the second M. Bidding for our class in Jun was on Day 1, just after lunch. You're seated in seniority order, which is based on last 4 of your SSN. 9xxx is best, 0xxx is worst, high seniority in front. You get your training "footprint" later that week (~Wed), and will have anywhere from 1-4 weeks off after indoc depending on how backlogged your eqpt is.

Anyone know the approx backlog times for the different eqpt? Do you get paid anything between indoc and training?

I don't know what the backlog on equipment is, but for pay, you should be an entry level pilot and here is the contract section for that:

Entry Level Pilot Pay

An entry level pilot will be paid at the monthly rate of:

1. $3,377.96 effective July 1, 2012.
2. $3,665.09 effective January 1, 2013.
3. $3,775.04 effective January 1, 2014.
4. $3,888.29 effective January 1, 2015.

Until you complete IOE then you are a first year pilot....

Just to clarify in case someone gets the vernacular confused, you are a first year pilot in all respects except pay from day one. On your one year anniversary you go to year 2 pay (with a few exceptions for certain types/lengths of leave, etc).

Just wanted to clarify, as at times there have been airlines (usually regional) where you did your "training" seperate from your employment and weren't "hired" until you finished, and then had to do a full year to get to second year pay. That's not the case here (or at most places).
