The June 13th class will have 20 pilots in it, including a pilot I know that has been in the pool since Summer 2001. Good news for the poolies, as it appears the pool is starting to get "drained."

The new-hires will be going to these fleets:

DC8 (FO/SO)
757/767 (international/domestic/Ontario)
727 (FO/SO)

The top 3 based on seniority chose to go to the 757/767 int'l domicile. Not sure what the rest of the breakdown is... if anybody knows please share.

Posted in the IPA newspaper, the May 16th class had pilots from the following backgrounds (new-hire slot):

America West (727 FO)
Mesa ?
Ryan Int'l (727 SO)
Independence Air (727 SO)
USA3000 (727 SO)
United (DC8 FO)
Delta (DC8 FO)
Air Wisconsin (2) (both DC8 SO)
Chautauqua (DC8 SO)
US Airways (DC8 FO)
AirTran (DC8 SO)
USAF (DC8 SO)
ASA (DC8 SO)
Fraction Air (DC8 SO)
Japan Airlines (727 FO)

 

I understand also that 757z SDF went 1, 2, 3. I'm number 9 in the class and was awarded 727FO. I was on TDY to Mallorca when the call came for preferences, and did not get to offer mine. Despite that I ended up with my 2nd choice, and couldn't have gotten my first even if I had been able to offer my preferences.

I also was told that some 757 ONT domestic slots went junior to me.
