There’s some people doing 5-7 GS this month. Last month I saw GS#9

It’s also raining premium pay on LAX717B, there was an OOB GSWC award last night. Several days of GSWC last week there, but OOB GSWC is way down the ladder.

Drop via email
Found out the last two classes have recieved emails a few weeks before Indoc, detailing how the last four of SSN is used, being told their drop would include NYC 717, 220, and 737, and also being told to rank order their choices via reply email.
They still find out on day one of actual Indoc, but I guess the training guys are now getting a few more weeks lead time to plug in a guy/gals name to a training slot even before Indoc actually starts.
Wondering if this is the new norm going forward.

They’ve only done this with one class so far. It’s an experiment. They find out the drop a couple weeks early and email back with their order of preference. It’s two fold, helps new hires have time to discuss opportunities and choices with family members and takes the focus off the drop day one so they can focus on everything else without distractions. This was Brian Bolt’s wish to better the experience for new hires.

I think shortly after our class they went to the system they’ve been using for years of pilots at indoc picking in seniority order from a pot of planes/bases.
