Yup, agreed. The complexity of our rotation builds and how much it changes from month to month makes it difficult to bid an airplane for a destination. Hell we flip flop fleets one or 2 months out at times too. Just bid for overall type of flying and bases really. On a positive note it gives us variety and change…

I think that’s why many guys just camp out on WB B. Yeah your country will change, but you’re still going international. Not like NB where you can be doing transcons one trip, islands another, then ATL hops on the third. It’s easier to bid when you know you don’t have to dodge multi leg days.

Does anybody know what airframe is getting first available upgrade?
Also, does anybody know what the seniority of the most junior SLC Captains are? I know they have 737, 220, 320
As a new hire my goal would be to bid same airframe that I’d take first available upgrade in (prob 73 from what I’ve heard). Then just wait out till I can transfer to SLC.

Thanks in advance for any info or advice.

Yup. I’ve enjoyed my time a lot on the ER and for most part 80% of my trips have been amazing. But it’s hard to know what future holds with fleet or trip builds. Which is why I’ll just sit patiently until my call up to 330. As you said, just park my ass on right seat of that knowing I’m going somewhere for 1 leg days lol

10 year ago people we wondering what the ER future was as well. Fleet around here last a lot longer than we think - (remember the DC-9 taking forever to leave, 717 going out but it's coming back, 5500 series 757s not getting painted then they are)

Trying to see what the general pros and cons for these two out of ATL. If it matters, big on flying to the Caribbean/warm places. Makes an overnight a little more bearable. But obviously seniority is king and I’ve been told conflicting things as to what moves quicker.

SEA 7ER category is closing.

220, 73N, and 330 still exist and 320 is growing rapidly.

I don’t think the Caribbean flying out of ATL is overnights. Anytime I’ve had it on a rotation it was always a turn (for 7ER). If it is overnights I imagine it’s very senior. ATL7ER is really top heavy.

Get ready for plenty of NH NYC 330B. 47 seats went unfilled in this latest AE!

Anyone in the pool receive a class date this week? Still hanging out at 4 months from CJO?
