If a new hire is already in class then he can bid on this bid. It could result in a different position then his initial assignment. If he is waiting for a class date then the bid has no real effect. The company can produce a bid run at any time based on the current bids pilots have entered. They have a very good idea where they will have vacancies long before the bid closes.

For the New Hires ...
If you get NYC, here's something you'll definitely get used to seeing. It is pretty impressive. But I still consider it the cess pool of America. haha

2) Systems is on a CD which has to be completed before you take your systems validation (a computer test), which is at the end of your first week of sims (a procedures trainer, actually). Wait time between indoc and sims will vary depending on how busy the school house is. In my class, we had guys go straight to the sims, after a few days off, to guys waiting a couple of months. The gap between sims and IOE is usually much shorter.

Thanks for that information! If you only have a few days between Indoc and Sim, how long does it take to finish that systems CD? Obviously some people move at a faster pace than others but can you really learn a new aircraft's systems in just a few days? Are the modules pretty user friendly and fairly easy to follow along? Thanks a lot!

I posted this a few days ago to share info. I think it will answer your question.

Also, while you're going through your 100 series, you'll also have a few hours of systems class in the morning. The level of depth seems to depend on the airplane. I've been through 757/767 and MD88 training, and in my case the 757/767 systems class was more in depth than the MD88 training.
Regardless, don't sweat the systems stuff. Go through the CD and study the LOD and you'll do fine.

Overall I don't think they ask for knowledge levels that are unreasonable.

Much obliged! I'm coming from the regionals and been through two aircraft ground schools so I shouldn't have too much trouble wrapping my brain around this stuff. It does sound like there will be time in the event that I go straight to sim. Thanks again.
