Thanks Bohica, I appreciate the heads-up. Any idea on what the junior spot is for MSP A320?

Yeah relatively senior. April 14 hire about 800 senior to the plug company wide.
I was on a jumpseat last week with a former Compass guy who was hired in June trying to get back since with no luck.

No pilots bid something else. Like upgrade or move to a widebody. The company does not replace the pilots that bid out.

So is it safe to say that the FOs who made it to MSP on a 7ER will stay there as long as they don't bid out? Or, may DAL ever force them to a different domicile to suit base sizing...

I'm hoping to get my hat in the ring next month.

If it shrinks the junior guys will stay junior.

Anyone unable to access the intranet with the information you received on the post card? No matter what I do the password change page is always where I can not get stuck. Followed the rules and still no luck.
