No they moved the October class to the Airport. You get to work the ramp during flight banks and do GS at the picnic tables when not chucking bags or doing the lav service. When you're line qualified you can work the ramp while on reserve to help pro rate the training contract. It's like a work / release program.

Would someone mind decoding this as I'm a newbie....
Does this mean a new hire today would get MCO because of the openings?
Thanks

They just posted the latest vacancy on flica, "VSA 01-2017."
Projected Training Start Date: November 16, 2016 (Upgrade class)
Projected Effective Date: January 25, 2017 (Upgrade*)
January 1, 2017 (Base Transfers)
4 DEN CAs
3 DEN FOs
13 MCO FOs
Considerably more sluggish than expected, but I'm not too surprised.
Also:
"Projected future vacancies (projected future vacancies are subject to change without notice and not guaranteed):
Next Vacancy: Next vacancy will include both Captain Upgrades and First Officer Positions. The next upgrade class is currently projected to have a December training start and be online in February 2017. Base transfers will have a projected transfer date of February 1st 2017."

It means there are 16 new hires. If no FOs have transfer bids in 3 new hires would go to DEN the rest would go to MCO. If there are 13 FOs senior to the new hire class that want MCO the then all new hires get DEN. I'm not sure how many junior people want MCO. But whatever doesn't get filled goes to new hires.

Wonder if a delay getting the neo's approved is slowing everything else down the pipeline for upgrades. On second thought, it's probably the doubt that we'll have enough FO's to staff the airplanes since interview attendance is lackluster and getting worse by the day.
All this talk of growth but I only hear crickets.

They've been talking about huge growth the entire 2+ years I've been here. Where is it going to come from? We can't get any more gates in ORD and our forward thinking leadership decided to let half of F9's gates in DEN fall into Delta's hands. Is there that much excess capacity in MCO?

I'm risking stating the obvious. 2 year upgrades have always been a myth. But they've also put out the aircraft delivery schedule, and net new aircraft didn't even begin on paper until now. The problem is, those net new aircraft aren't materializing due to Airbus having problems getting the NEOs out of the factory. There are probably many explanations for this, and I don't know them. But the reality is that we are way behind schedule for additional aircraft. We're so behind, in fact, that mgmt has wet leased our routes on other airlines' 737's. Until deliveries begin en masse, upgrade rates will not change, and "huge growth" will remain elusive.

No you cannot jumpseat on Virgin Atlantic! Check your reciprocal agreement list on Comply365. I do not see VA Atlantic. You are not serious about jumpseating with a lap child? ZED fare should be no problem.
