Company contributions will be made monthly, concurrent with such payment,
based upon the gross Compensation the pilot is paid on that date (before taxes and deductions).

I would love to say that we are getting one, but we don't have the widebodies to do the flying we have now. Maybe when we start taking deliveries of the 78.

How senior is IAH, is it likely to get Houston right off the bat? Either I missed it, or all I see is EWR.

IAH is more senior. If you get the 73 out of training you can probably get to Houston pretty quickly if not right off the bat. A 75 assignment will allow you to get a lot more familiar with our EWR operation, but you will eventually make it to IAH.

Also, what about Guam? Are they sending people there, or just mentioning it in the interview to see how you respond?

Tell them you have your diving equipment packed and a bunch of one dollar bills in your wallet for the G-Spot. Guam is going senior right now.

Just got the good news phone call! Thanks for everyone's advice/input. Anyone else in the Nov. 12th class on here? According to HR, I'll be the jr. guy in class. Aside from making coffee, what else can I expect? I'd imagine EWR73? Or is it too hard to predict..?

Expect to be on reserve in EWR for a couple of months at the most if you end up on the 737. EWR has been pretty short of pilots for a while, but even though the trips aren't that commutable if you're a newhire, they're the best flying in the system. Overall a great bunch of people to work with and you'll have a great time. Welcome aboard!!

As the "baby" in the class, you'll probably have to wear a pacifier, but hey, that means you'll be really senior when you retire, so enjoy it!!
