Yes.

This is part of the email I received...

"... Space will be limited and pilots must have an active application on file. Registration will open May 5 on the ALPA Fee-for-Departure Committee (FFDC) website. This event is for active ALPA members/pilots only. "

Funny they specify "active". Wouldn't want to open it up to furloughed ("inactive") ALPA pilots or anything, lol.

Is it worth the trip to Orlando for a Regional FO with 1,000 hrs Part 121 and 2,500 hours total... or wait til I have another 1,000 hrs to make me "competitive" ?

I heard about 1,000 total applicants in the January window, not just competitive applicants. Just something I heard, but if it's true, I would say that they are hurting right now.

How hard would be to get the airbus at JFK for the May classes? Thanks

I bet the majority, if not all, slots will be JFK Airbus next few classes, maybe a few BOS choices but very little or no 190.

I thought the same as well. I went to save it and afterwards when I checked it, the apps in progress section writes "expires May 30, 2017".



I was almost thinking of not applying.... Honestly Delta, United, American in third. JetBlue is good, but obviously they're far behind the legacies in many respects.
