Kind of screwed; the only base I really don’t want to hold is CVG because it’d be a two-leg commute for me. That’s bad news.

There's gonna be a lot of movement. I think you'll get out reasonably quickly. 6 months maybe. But it's too early to tell. You might end up holding something different while still in training. Vacancies come out quarterly for the most part.

And the trip start times stink there. Early starts on day one with late returns on the last day. Everyone is aware that it's bad so the company and union are supposedly trying to get it more commute-able. But there's only so much they can do with the schedules in CVG

With the amount of hiring/upgrades coming, I think we're going to be seeing vacancies monthly fairly soon...

They already seem to be coming out every 2 months at this point.

How senior is ATL? How long before a vacancy shows up or to hold a line?

We'll know more next week when the final award posts for this vacancy. But this vacancy didn't have any ATL openings. Might be a few pop up from secondaries as people move around.

Unless they're trying to shrink Atlanta so they can build NYC back up I would imagine there would have to be

Right now, every 2 months. But it's at the whim of the company. I'd expect every 2 months or less for the time being.

Exactly what happened. Unfortunately for this vacancy it looks like every base is attainable except for ATL. They've been running a vacancy every 2 months though, so hopefully it opens back up in the next one. Anyone starting class now or in the future shouldn't be concerned since things change so quickly it'll definitely look different in 4+ months from now

Can we get an update on the most recent class drops? I’m getting close to my class date and just wondering where people are being based and what they’re going to be flying. Thanks in advance!
