Timeframe, 5-8 months, give or take. Airbus, a couple years. You get a 757 in training now you’re talking 4 years plus. Or switching aircraft after seat lock to get in sooner.
Last man power update had sfo, IAH 756 shrinking, ord flat, narrowbody growth on the coasts and IAH flat.

Someone smarter than me can post the details but I wouldn’t plan on holding IAH anytime soon unless there are backfills.

Things do change, as you mention, but Jr guy in IAH today is about 19 months on property.

Good news for everybody. Can I ask when you heard this and where?

Sounds accurate after reading the latest MEC update. “The company has indicated this Vacancy Bid is the first of what will most likely be monthly vacancy bids, continuing over the next six to eight months in preparation for summer 2019.”

How early do new hires get the call for class? Sorry I know it’s been asked before.
