Not difficult at all.

Some people in the latest new hire class went to TPA.

thanks for the update. Just for some clarification—does this show that any base except DEN is attainable for a new hire FO within one month?

and are domicile transfers bid for/awarded every month?

Pretty much every base except DEN is attainable for new guys. The company will publish a vacancy when you are in training to place the new hires. They could have any bases on there. Generally there will be a vacancy every month that you could bid on. In addition, there are "base trades" too

Got it. Good to know, thanks!

Past performance doesn’t guarantee future performance but yes you should see any base you want except Denver within 6 months.

You’ll notice I only post data for those that have completed training. So in reality it’s probably more like most get MIA or TPA while in training but by the time training is complete or very soon after they are in their preferred base.

PHX should show up on a base bid in about three months and everything will change again.

That was my next question, whether you can expect multiple domicile awards while still in training. Makes sense. Thanks!

There’s a known recruiter here that works with the other majors. I’m sure he knows about 50-75 of F9 pilots that are in the pool at United and Delta. May, June, July there will be some massive losses to the legacies. They are all backlogged at the moment and the classes currently running are from February hire dates.
