Class Drop List
#2431

You shouldn't have any issues getting OCL... My class (Feb) was given OCL and DCL as options, with most DECs bidding DCL.

Closes 4/1, run on 4/4, final 4/8 with a prelim usually out 1-3 days before the final depending on the complexity of the bid. Effective dates are whenever the awarded get on the training schedule (flow plan ) posted on or right around the 15th of each month.

So whatever slots are unfilled in the bid are offered to new hires in training? How often are bids run?
I start Indoc 4/3 and am hoping for PHX eventually. I am guessing some people won’t give up a hard line in DFW for reserve in PHX with only 12 lines in PHX. With ORD losing the E145 flying soon I suspect ORD E175 will go a little more senior than DFW. I expect we will be offered ORD or DFW captain on 4/3 and I am fine with either one, but I would like to know how often to expect movement between bases.

Bids have for the last five plus years been quarterly, announced near the end of the quarter and closed/posted first week of following month, with the exception of the 145 displacement was run a month early.

I got a call from a recruiter last week stating they are now back to hiring FOs, but still no word on a class date. Does anyone who is non 121 FO have any luck securing a class date recently ? Btw applied in oct and got a CJO in November.

I received a call from the recruiting department three weeks ago to submit my packet for captain’s review board, and got a CJO today. I interviewed back in July. 4 May onboarding date. No prior 121 experience with little bit of mil fixed wing time.

Latest (displacement) bid award shows Phoenix going fairly junior. Captain as junior as 2/9/23 hire (a good number of new hire DEC basically got PCL 1-2 months into their training cycle) and FO went as junior as a 3/2/23 hire. A good number of MIA FOs as well.
