I can certainly echo the fact that no DECs will be treated poorly by the current pilots, although you will be on reserve for a while.

I'm an October hire, and I just flew a couple of legs where I was the most senior person on the flight. Capt was a long time Endeavor FO who knew his stuff. Will gladly take advantage of experience like that. Flew 60 hours in the right seat then upgraded.

The FA, well, they were the FA.

Geebus man. Your life must pathetic. All you do is make really ignorant comments on every single PSA thread. I'm sure your boyfriend is really proud of the internet hero that your think you are.

Agreed. PSA First Officers who have been on property for 1.5 years have likely already accrued their 1000 SIC hours and are eligible for upgrade. However, if you hired-in 1.5 years ago, (December 2013) you're bidding number 30 (or better) in CLT, out of 281 eligible bidders (top 10%). In Dayton, you're bidding number 9 (or better) out of 96 (top 10%). In TYS,...... you're number 6 (or better),...... out of 103 eligible bidders (top 6%).

It would be hard to give up that kind of QOL, even if you were able to bid a round one CA line.

January classes are either mostly done or in the process of finishing up. February classes have started IOE.

One of the march classes is already in ioe. This was the first one to start on the 700 vs 200. 3 months from start to finish. Big improvement from previous classes.

While I can't directly answer this question I can say this:

It aint good.

My FO on my current trip told me he has a buddy from an early March class that just got a sim date on July 2.

I think they are giving priority to guys who have 1000sic or near it.
