Lastly, from a commuter standpoint, how are things set up, contract wise, regarding commuter clauses etc? Thanks!

Just to clarify, I'm just a guy in the pool right now (hopefully class date right around the corner). So again I'd look for info from some of the other guys here who know more, but my impression is FLL runs a bit more senior and MCO seems to be very senior.

Won't specify on the commuter clause but plenty of folks commute. As a new guy, I would still prefer to live in base and make the best of the schedule by doing so.

EWR base isn’t opening until spring/ summer of 2022. We hire all types and ages. Just don’t be a dick, be friendly, and be excited.

That is what I am leaning towards, but as Mark Twain once said, "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt". Just want to make sure I don't ruin my chances by posting a crappy cover letter vs no cover letter at all.

Also, internal recs are huge.

Has anyone seen a posting for FO's? I thought it was weird to have the hiring window open on a Sunday so possibly tomorrow we'll see something?

What’s the number they’re looking to hire? Any ideas on what the vacancies looked like?

722 vacancies. Those don’t account for the 50ish retirements between now and end of next year. Vacancies are a mix for all bases and seats, except not much change to florida. To add 722 after accounting for retirements/attrition, that’s about 900 pilots. Not sure that many can be hired by end of next year though. Gonna be a lot though.
