Like you I was surprised to see that.

I’d love to pick your brain about 7ER QoL in NYC. Starting indoc hopefully in May and trying to wrap my head around potential aircraft and domiciles, if you wouldn’t mind a PM?

I'm starting OBS/IOE Wednesday so I can probably answer some questions.

Don't have a lot of info beyond training though.

So you bid ATL 7ERB and didn't get it?

Any possible way the drop today was leftover from the previous AE?

Even if that’s allowed under the contract, it’s not right. It costs the company no more money to put the new hire in NYC and let you have ATL.

If it is legal in the contract it should be changed.

Why do you ask, grasshopper?

Everyone has their own PFA. These guys had theirs. Other classes will have theirs.

Sometimes ATL MD-88B goes #1. Sometimes, it goes dead dog last.

So again...why do you ask, grasshopper?

ONE of the M88s may go to #1, but M88 is repeatedly what the plug gets stuck with.

Yes. I'm junior as **** (14,200ish) so I didn't figure I'd get it, but nobody got it at all on the AE. I know there's more than a couple 7ER guys trying to go to ATL for commute reasons, myself included.

If you had a good bid in then it would have to be a remainder from a previous bid, otherwise you'd be in line first for those slots above new hires. Can always ask crew resources to make sure it wasn't done incorrectly.
