I am guessing mid-continent hubs will get some more NB CAP openings, with maybe some on the coasts just so anybody who has changed their mind since the last bid can still bid to where the company really wants them. That would also mean FO opeinings in those same mid-continent locations to keep the Cap/FO balance. Prob some WB FO options on the coasts just to keep the unfilled vacancies available as we go forward and then a good amount of 756 and NB FO slots on the coasts as well.

So, prob not a bunch of movement for the top half of the seniority list, but great movement for somebody who just got hired.

62. Everything from 787/777 FO to 756/Airbus/Guppy FO in almost every base, including new hires in Denver and Houston.

Nobody was forced into a base.

The other plus is that you are never on an RJ commuting between the two. Throw in OAK and SJC and you’re up to around 30 flights a day to the Bay Area daily. Pre-Covid it was about 50. PM me if you want more details, but really, it is a pretty nice commute overall.

I did it for about a year and agree with this post. Don't ride on UAL metal and you will make the flight every time.

Is the 777/787 a combined fleet? Are they the same bidpack?

Any word on how many 777s and 787s this week? Figure they have to have a decent number going to those fleets in order to be able to train the total number we are hiring every week. Got to spread that number out over as many fleets as possible just to get the throughput.

Figure this week and next should be great weeks to get hired in the other fleets as there will likely be a vacancy bid posted that closes while these next two groups are still in Indoc. Prob be able to get a lateral awarded before they even start aircraft training.
