Awesome for everyone it sounds like. Hoping I can pull a 737 slot then

We are all extremely lucky to be involved in this crazy amount of hiring/movement, and as long as the new hires continue to come through the door I would bet you should have a similar experience.
I agree and I’m truly just happy to be a part of this. I hope that movement continues so I can enjoy it as well

I was humbled and then got humbled again by my mother and then again by my father. Very humbling. So I sincerely hope you can learn from this experience and pull out of this rut, maybe even get hired on with Delta soon. Chin up, Bro. It will pass.

I have a 2/21 Indoc. Was debating between 737 EWR and 756 EWR. I’m projected to be halfway in my seniority in class and might not be able to hold the 737. Any insight will be helpful. I also live in FL and plan to commute from MCO and at times JAX.

Given the daylight between you and a line on the 756 is greater than a year, as a commuter, particularly one from FL, it would be better to pick the 320 if you want and can’t get the 737. If you don’t care about commuting to reserve on probation from one of the most senior commutes, then it doesn’t matter.

How long would you sit reserve on the 757 in SFO as a new hire?

I’m honored to have this opportunity was what I meant to get across. I appreciate the phraseology lesson

Thanks I appreciate it.
