Quote: Does anyone know what is typically going senior in the last couple drops with so many 190 slots? Are 320s senior or people bidding more for desirednbase than aircraft? I'm a west coaster starting class in 2 weeks and all these 190 slots are making me nervous that I'll be stuck with a transcon commute for a year and not be able to base trade to LAX. FWIW I'm 33 y.o.
I haven’t started with the company and simply have a start date, but I’ve been hearing from others inside the company that the 190 makes it easier to get LCR right away and you may not get utilize that much. If someone wants to chime in and tell me I’m wrong I am more than willing to take the critique as this is a pertinent problem for me too

crazy how times have changed. Would’ve been the caboose in many classes a few years ago.

yep…I was 2nd to bottom and 33 just over 9.5 yrs ago. I had the bottom guy by 2 months.

It was a blessing though, preferred the bus at the time but other than a stagnant stint of reserve in JFK for a few months, getting and serving my time on the 190 moved me along fast in the QOL department and I’m going to try and be one of the guys to fly it to the beer can recycle factory if I can

Better question, how many mechanics needed and write-ups taken since the last class drop...

Right? When I got on at 31 the only people below me were one guy who was like 3 months younger and then a couple Gateways in their 20s.

NK, hired 10 years ago at 45. 8K TT, 4K TPIC, least experience in class, age, right in the middle. 90+% of the FOs I fly with are around 25, with 0TPIC, and less than 500 multi. Brave new world. Applied to the be LCA, if I'm doing OE every leg, might as well get paid for it.

Just looking ahead to the SLI, could anybody give the current CA DOHs for JetBlue?
