Only to the 757 until the next bid closes.

Hong long would a newhire have to wait before getting HKG, if he/she wasnt given HKG right away? Thanks

Let them know you want to go to HKG and you will most likely go immediately. Otherwise, it would be on the next available bid.

System bids at Purple appear to be substantially less frequent than at many of the passenger carriers.

The last open system bid was in early 2016, and the next one is rumored to be occurring this spring. There have been a handful of smaller, specialized bids in between that time (a bid to fill Euro 75 seats, a 76 Capt bid, etc).

They did put new hires in the A-300 and MD-11 this month (Jan '18), but most are slated for the 757.

Heard from Flt Stnds for Feb for the system bid. They do seem to drag them later in the spring but they had a board meeting last week.

Thank you all re HKG/System bid. I have been doing contracts in Asia and would like to come home. But the fam is not ready (respecting my wife's career wishes). Getting HKG would be ideal but sounds like it could be MEM for a couple years too. Any advice?

It was 5 years, and I heard they did away with that requirement. It was a Postal Service thing.

Has anyone had any experience with getting a thanks but no thanks after day two interview and has had the opportunity to interview a second time? I know there is a 12 month wait to even have a shot to interview again, but is getting a second chance to interview rare for most people?
