Interesting conversation. Im 33 and a very low SSN, and I was 5 from the bottom in my class of 50. If they did it by age, I would have been maybe 6 or 7 from the bottom. So I guess it just depends how you are affected. There were a couple of 40+ in our class that are junior to me who would have been top 5 in the class, so their perspective is much different. At the end of the day youre working for an industry leading airline with nonstop hiring projected for 10+ years, so really the focus should be more on things like a great contract next year, eliminating training pay and just going to straight 1st year pay right off the bat instead of after OE, and giving new hires hotel rooms in training, etc.

No hornets were harmed during this conversation. It's just a casual discussion, as far as I'm concerned.
The big picture is that everyone who is already here is really, really glad to see new faces. Pecking order in classes of 75: that's a problem I'd like to discuss all year long!

Funny you should ask Ted. Number 73 out of 74 still had a choice! (granted 717 or 88, but still, a choice). I was roughly 20 from the bottom, and still had a couple ERs, the last 320, 717, and 88 still to pick from. Many 88s went early on. You never know what people will pick or what their motives are. I myself, passed on that last Airbus and the ER.

You really like to go poking at fire ant hills and wasps nests, don't you?

But I was just using an example of how in the grand scheme of things the ssn/age thing is a little lower priority.TEN, Im still here, going to 717 school in December.
