The latest Domicile Vacancy Report doesn't show any openings for SFO. There were openings in FAT for the EMB and LAX for the RJ. The report is put out monthly and isn't necessarily followed.
In other news, the junior EMB175 transition going to class has only been here 9 months. Doesn't look like they're enforcing the seat lock. At this point they don't have enough bids in for the 175 and new hires will probably be in it pretty soon. (ORD only domicile for those interested.)

Hi,
Theses days, how long does it take to hear back once you submit the application?
Are they able to fill the classes to its max capacity?
I have heard large construction in SFO and that will minimize number of flights in/out this year. Would this make it that much more difficult to get SFO out of training or even transfer several months later?
Thank you!

Sounds like there is quite a bit of movement. I haven't heard much about SLC lately. Anyone know how senior it looks on crj or bro? Could a new hire get SLC soon after IOE?
Thanks!
Thanks!

One thing that almost never changes about SLC is that on the RJ you can expect to be on reserve for multiple years, and on the brasilia the trips are terrible. I know quite a few people who have actually transferred out of SLC and chosen to commute just to get a line or on the brasilia to get a better line.

SLC is extremely senior but it's also the biggest base. It always seems to be a wildcard for junior FOs. Sometimes they put an entire new hire class there, and other times they go a year without transferring a single pilot in on both the bro and RJ.

Thanks for the info!
What makes the trips so bad on the brasilia? would they be worse than commuting to reserve?

Hmmm, I wonder why you were turned down? Couldn't be the sense of entitlement, no, not that at all...

Where did I ever say I was entitled? That's your incorrect assumption. All I stated was that I wasn't hired and I found it amusing, that's all. I have a job and thankfully it's not flying around in clapped out CRJ's and E120's that are probably older than you are. Lighten up Francis...
