As far as I know calls go out just about every week. We have plans to interview and run classes pretty much nonstop.

Do you happen to know how long reserve is or how long before DTW can be held? Thanks

you can find lots of answers under the Spirit of NKS thread.
(http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/ma...t-nks-347.html)

...DTW has always been sr, that aside i think the movement has been such that guys are going to DTW fairly quick, under 6 mo (i think). but as I said it is a sr base, so I dont really know how long out of rsv. Almost a similar case in ACY.

FLL and LAS are different, you could hold lines under 3 mo. (+/-)

Did you get the job?


Sailor.

I was talking to a FO who was in the August '11 class and got awarded DTW for Feb. It looks like all on the FO side who want to be there are there, so it sounds like as Sailor said, DTW is feasable within 5-6 months.

I think we are "crewing" 15 or 16 per ac. Upgrades at about 6-10 during normal conditions.
(I say normal), because there is some shuffling going on in the training dpt. We are out of airbus and going to PanAm I think..this plus the fact that we only have 3 more buses coming, 1 soon 2 in the fall may change upgrades and hiring a bit.

(but nothing is written in stone here)

20 more buses from the first order, 75 (minus the old 19s)...should put us around, (conservative numbers, and I dont have any kind of insight whatsoever), 50-70 UG a yr every yr till the last delivery.

Right now I think we are on MAR or APR 07 most jr CA. (keep in mind that we didnt hire past JUN or JUL 08 till 2010.

I think under 4.5 years for UG and shrinking...=)

Like I said there is a lot more info in (http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/ma...t-nks-347.html) with comments from guys that know a lot more.

3 yr fo is 66.38 or 73.12 hr avg 80 hr a month
5 yr ca is 115.00 or 136.00 avg 72 hr (rsv)

(I dont how accurate this is, since the rates change after DOS)

I just started my 5 yr here, im getting 82 hr.

Bottom line, its a great time to get in, at least for the next 4 yrs.

Sailor

Sailor,

Has our delivery schedule been adjusted to recieve only 4 aircraft this year total? I think were supposed to get 6 more aircraft this year (a total of 7 for 2012, though we have gotten 2 this year so far, 609 was supposed to be a 2011 delivery). From what I've seen the delivery schedule is 2 more in the first quarter , 2 in the second quarter and 2 in fourth quarter.

No changes, just like Bubi said. I sorry if I was misleading. 3 more this yr. We already got 4 (320's). that's 7 this year.
