Ignore fadec, a consistent a$$ hat and source of negative input. Humbled is a recognition that many are qualified to be here. Grateful for the opportunity and a mindset that you’re not taking this opportunity for granted. Sounds like humility. I believe fadec experienced humiliation, big difference!

from what I have seen on other forums …
777/787 swings between junior and senior - depending on the class.
There is pretty much everything on the table as far as domiciles are concerned but equipment slots match class size. The bottom guys don’t have a choice and have to take what equipment is left but usually have many (for 320/737) or some (756/777/787) domicile options

They did this for my redoc (when one's been out for a long time, they would send you back through indoc) class and the classes before and after us. Granted, that's been a while, but I am surprised that they'd force someone into the 787. With so many newhires every week, there should be some flexibility on drop composition.

It’s not that the reserve rules are bad, global reserve is what it is and quite frankly is a necessity on a “global” fleet. I’m talking solely about global reserve here, yes our reserve rules could be better, that’s a whole other forum for sure. It’s just that you will be on reserve for YEEAAARRRSSS on a 78/77 as a new hire. Some are okay with it, but as a new hire, probably not so desirable.

Having said that, we are not yet (to my knowledge) renting any off location sims- so there are options to expand capacity; but I’m sure they’d rather keep the fleet assignments at a mix that they can handle at TK.

I don’t know this for a fact, but I assume there are some training capacity issues at play. 60+ new hires a week plus upgrades, recurrent training, etc. puts a significant strain on NB sim scheduling. They may need some of these guys to go WB just to spread the training burden across all our sims.
