And regarding the 756, you hope that no vacancies exist in bigger quantities for people to bid into. Otherwise people senior to you will be bidding on top of you for the next two years.

My general assumption from recent posts is that EWR and LAX are the junior bases. I am hoping and praying that I would get EWR out of training if hired. Do you guys think that EWR will be pretty easy to get for the foreseeable future (6 months or so)? Either thru base trading or bidding?
Thanks.

Not even a concern. There will always be EWR slots for new hires. The question is whether you're senior enough to hold it in class. But if not, the next vacancy would fix that for you.

SFO/EWR are the junior bases for new hires. Depending on the vacancy bids there may be other options but at a minimum SFO and EWR will be on the slate. If you don’t get EWR b/c you choose your preferred airframe in SFO and it’s not open in EWR, it will be open on the next vacancy bid almost for certain and certainly by the time you are done with OE. It may take a couple of months to activate your award but you will be in EWR in less than 6 months.

Put another way: new hires only get options that the rest of the company was offered and didn’t take. Since EWR is always a new hire option … it’s always an old hire option too

Hi, anybody willing to share how much is the monthly take home package for a new FO at SFO base on the 737?
Currently Flying B787 as a Skipper in the Middle East (it’s time to get out of here)

Best Regards

Thank you so much for the info, just another question, please.
If stuck on B737 for 5 years and then transfer to 787 will the hourly rate go up (according to the new fleet) or drop to year 1 and start all over again?
16% is not bad, over here we have 15%.
Also No hourly rate increment, only basic salary at aprox 3-8% yearly increment, regardless of the fleet.
