The whole in-class seniority is generally not a big deal. Usually the whole class gets the same initial assignment.
There are quite a few instances where in class seniority is a really big deal, but they are niches and rare. Such as, CA awards are not made in initial assignments since 9E has no street-CA program, but 2 guys in the same class could possibly be competing for a CA slot even while in FO training.
But, for 99 out of 100 new hires, in-class seniority is not really important and certainly not worth worrying about. The company can award seniority however they please since it's not covered in the CBA.

My class got pretty much every possible combination apart from MSP -9.
With the seat lock this could become even more important. I don't think many new hires bid for the Deuce; but clever ones may consider it. A decent break after OE, near immediate Line and lashings of Premium pay make it a contender for the smart money.
The only good advice I've heard about class drops is to bid what you want, and fly what you get.
With Endeavor primed for some significant growth over the coming months you won't go too far wrong..

I disagree. The Aircraft and Base drops are entirely dependent on whatever voodoo spell was last cast by Crew Planning.

And that open time will quickly disappear. I counted like 50 pilots assigned to the 200 in nyc, most still in training, and 11 lines. Wtf?

Glad to see BL give us an update that the three carrier DCI plan is still in motion and that details/growth will be announced in the next couple months. Really enjoying the visibility and communication from the new execs....or maybe the kool-aid is just getting stronger and I haven't noticed.

Also the last comment he wrote seemed to be an indirect jab against Compass...heard they had 30 + controllable cancelations last month.
