It will be interesting to see what a drop of 75 looks like next week

Thanks dlpilot. Is the 757 even a realistic dream if I want DTW? Always dreamed of flying that bird.

That is so true. Some mad dog hair on your chest and everything else is cake.

If you want the 75/76, ask for them while you're in training. Then, put an advance entitlement request in for it to DTW. Or conversely just to get to DTW, bid the 717 wherever, the bid it to Dtw and suck up the training freeze, then bid 75/76 to Dtw when the freeze is almost over.

Flew the DC-9 first, then the MD-88. It was like having your oxcart retrofitted with television.

88 the quickest to CVG by far, 717 for DTW but the 737 wouldn't be dramatically far behind.

How are aircraft assigned to new hires or how do new hires bid on assignment?

Aircraft are assigned based off the last 4 of your SSN, from highest to lowest.

So the person with the highest last 4 (9xxx) picks first and gets what he wants and the person with lowest last 4 (1xxx) picks last and gets what's left over.
