There will be a need for 7ER pilots in the spring when the flying goes back up. I would expect JAN and FEB classes to have 7ER slots.

Any insight on possible movement of 717 vs MD88 over the next year?

Agreed but for the fall time the and the reduction of flying on the ER will lead to most new hires headed to the airframes I mentioned above. This came from last months crew resources update.

Question How long are you committed?

As a new hire, how long are you locked into your assigned aircraft/domicile? Is there a minimum required time before you are permitted to try to bid something or somewhere else? Obviously seniority plays into likelihood of anything actually happening.

Equipment = 1 year seat lock (the recently disapproved TA would've made it two years, with some caveats regarding changing base)

Domicile = no lock (i.e., you can move to the same aircraft/seat at a different base, availability & seniority permitting)

As I'm waiting for indoc to start and contemplating life outside the AF, the fam and I are trying to decide where to move. I'll be working part time for the Louisville KY guard, which is only 1.5 hours away from KCVG. I know KCVG is the smallest domicile. Any one know if it is shrinking, growing or staying the same? Are there talks about it going away? What are the chances of a new guy getting to KCVG quickly? I'm guessing the MD would be the fastest route.

I know I'd be junior there for quite a while, but figure being junior and sitting reserve from the comfort of home would beat commuting even if it was to a line? I am more concerned about QO-family-L. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Are there other better options, maybe an easy commute from Louisville to another domicile?

I haven't seen any CVG vacancies on any AE's in the past year...it's possible that I could be wrong and missed one. If I had to guess which would be the first opening would be on the 88, but that is just a guess.

I'm not a delta guy but have a few in my sq and they all have stuck with tricare. Said it was a bit cheaper and just as good if not better coverage.
