April awards will be posted in a couple of hours. Should include 2 new hire classes. I’ll try to post the new hire breakdown when they come out.

I could have had MDW within two months, and any base but DEN, DAL, and ATL within five, and all but ATL within six

It varies, and new hires sometimes get almost every base but ATL. OAK is pretty much always junior though

MDW is fairly junior, it just shrunk a couple pilots this bid which prevented new hires from getting it. Some bids new hires get it, sometimes it takes 1-2 months.

So potentially by end of class. I live in Chicago and I’d commute for a while as needed, Oakland would be very far.

The longest you might have to do OAK is one month (the first one after IOE). After that, you would get something closer if not MDW. The good thing is vacancy bids are done every month.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So if I'm offered an April class...are these bases the ones available for us? If so, is it feats of strength to determine who gets what?

It’s by seniority and seniority is by age I was told, oldest is most senior etc
