The recent seniority list has 1142 pilots as of 8/15. In addition, there were 48 ANC 747 NH and 36 CVG 767 NH slots listed. The company does not post vacancy notices. You simply supply them with your preferences and if a vacancy opens for your seniority, you will be awarded the position.

Of course, if you have been paying attention to this thread, you'll know that your base has very little to do with where you will be flying...
Thx! That's great info. I'm a lil surprised how small LAX and PAE are. But that's intriguing that the most recent FO got to L.A. after 6 months. I have an interview coming up next week, west coast guy. Looks like ANC is where I'll start out if I get the job, and I actually really like it there so I'm cool with that.

Assuming your question about "rotations" refers to schedules, yes they do vary between bases. You can find several posts here which illustrate some of them, but generally speaking, ANC does far and mid east flying. PAE is supposed to do the LCF flying. LAX mostly far east. IAH does SA and Africa. HSV does SA to Europe and Africa. CVG does DHL flying - 747 to the far east and the 767 some far east but mostly domestic. MIA does SA and some Europe. JFK mostly Europe, Africa, and ME.The recent seniority list has 1142 pilots as of 8/15. In addition, there were 48 ANC 747 NH and 36 CVG 767 NH slots listed.

A quick perusal of the Delta, American, FedEx, UPS boards will show that everyone is up in arms about something. I think the best approach is to find a niche where you enjoy the work and then endeavor to keep adjusting the contract to make it even better.
