It becomes an app with an updated date only if you changed something. It’s submitted.

The new app doesn’t go into a lot of education detail. Are they still asking for transcripts at interviews? This bonehead didn’t start applying himself until after dropping out of college.

Unless something has changed very, very recently you have to upload your transcripts as part of the application.

Ok I’ll order a few copies for my records then. If asked about it I’ll just consider it a chance to talk about how much I improved myself since I was young.

You’ll submit your transcripts as part of a big document package once you’ve scheduled an interview.

Default New hire expectations

With the current class drops, would/should a 35 yr old new hire expect the only aircraft available is a 777 to SFO or NYC? And then, assuming that, expect two years on reserve since I don’t imagine I’d be able to hold a WB line anytime soon?

I don’t quite understand the Global Reserve rules, but it seems like that would be awful as a commuter? Since your days off can change quite a bit?

I’ve read that the seat lock may be able to be broken by bidding MCO or LAS, but that’s not going to be a guarantee that they’d be available.

I’ve got an app in, competitive hours/resume, and hoping for a call/email soon, but want to be realistic with my spouse about first year or two expectations.

I did graduate college but my grades were poor. My transcript shows that I just skated by until my senior year when I had an oh crap moment and kicked it into gear and made straight A’s. When asked about my academic performance I was honest. I told them it was due to a lack of maturity at the time and that once I realized that I needed to grow up, the damage to my GPA was done. I pointed out my senior year grades, multiple type ratings, and a flawless airline training record as proof that the lesson was learned and that it stuck. Evidently my explanation was satisfactory since I was offered the job. Just be honest, sincere, and own your mistakes and you should be fine.

It all depends on the class makeup, but I would think 35 would be able to avoid the 777 SFO. In my class, 35 was dead middle.

The LAS/MCO escape hatch will be closing soon (6 months from first available). If you don’t already have a class, I wouldn’t plan on that being a lifeline. Even if you do already have a class, I don’t know that there will be another vacancy before that window closes.

At the moment, even if you get a 777 to EWR or SFO, reserve is relatively short at around 6 months. Always subject to change of the flying contracts, but that’s the reality right now. They are actually beating some of their NB counterparts to a line.
