Another thing for noobs (starting Indoc in next few classes) is the plane they pick, they will most likely be stuck flying at that base for the next year+ unless the company changes their current AE projection.
Skyhub is stating next AE 4th quarter 2019. So worst case lets say Dec, results come out in Jan 2020, conversions start in Feb. Generally they convert in seniority order, so junior guys might not convert until end of the conversion window 6 months later (Jul 2020 timeframe). That could be a long time commuting to NYC for a plane that has a majority of non-commmutable front end trips. |

Good to know! Do they bids for the guys that wanna switch bases only? Sorry for all the questions. I’m just a dumb noob.

Did a bit of reading through this thread and saw how the majority of new hires are going to NYC.
I currently live in Atlanta, an Air Force pilot flying the E-8 (Boeing 707), have 23 months until retiring, and am hoping to get picked up by Delta and stay in Atlanta. Is there an airframe that would be my best bet to do that or commute to NYC and then like a year later be transferred to Atlanta? From reading on here it appears the 737 or 717 are the best bets but if I get hired I'll be a noob too lol, so I could very easily be wrong. |

Anything you got as a new hire is also based in ATL (except the 220, which as mentioned can bid off after a year - though by the time you get converted it could be well over a year before you can drive to work). Good luck.

330 Atlanta pilots have to age 65 retire in the next 23 months, plus some early goes. You might get Atlanta right away.
:rolleyes: :D |
