Any projected hiring numbers for 2020? Also, how are aircraft deliveries coming along?

Net gain of 15 aircraft wand hiring 250 pilots. The unconfirmed Thomas Cook planes would add to that if we ever see them.

250 newhires for 2020 has been a consistent number for a while.

Seeing as how we are hiring huge classes, I suspect we have a long break in hiring during the summer. And I haven't heard or seen anything about the Thomas Cook aircraft so who knows

How long after starting will you be assigned a base?

You’re immediately Denver based and you can put in your first bid whenever the first VSA becomes available. Should be within the first two weeks of your class date.

YMMV

Thanks.
Does that mean if you chose to stay in Denver you would keep it as your permanent domicile with little risk of being displaced, or would you have to re bid for it?

Rebid. It’s a trick they play to keep from having to pay for your lodging and per diem.

Right. And the last bid had no Denver spots so the entire Nov class got other domiciles. Denver base as a newhire is just to save the company money. There's no guarantee of being Denver based right out of training

The latest vsa had Den shrinking by 8 FOs and the most jr Den FO is still a December hire. Think he/she is the 3rd most junior with the company as of 1/1. Lots of base swapping for people to jump in on and your base really doesn’t apply till after your done sim anyway.

November vsa didn’t have open DEN spots listed but several still got it because of upgrades etc.
