If you want ATL from the beginning, bid the 88. You will more than likely have one in your drop. If not, bid it anyway then when the next AE comes out bid ATL.

Hello,

1) What's an AE?
2) Is ATL a 717 base?
3) there has been about 6-8 320 offered to new hires lately. Any chance there will be more in the near future?
4) do new hire pay for their uniforms? If so how much do they cost?

Thanks

2. Oh yes

3. Who knows. Based on past history and the fact we are buying them, probably. Doesn't mean it'll be in your class.

4. Oh yes. Plan 500ish, 3 different providers, they all have varying new hire packages.

I guess I have to "pay my dues" (when does that ever stop ?) 😃

When does the seat lock start? Once assigned the a/c on day one of indoc? Or can you change equipment on an a/e before you start training on said a/c?

Day assigned. Typically the first day of indoc.
