• At some point soon, this bid will close
• Whatever spots are not taken, will be offered to new hires
• So for example if on this bid, 95 pilots bid for CA upgrades in the bases and numbers listed, there would be 0 CA drops offered to new hires after this bid closes. (This would ignore the effect of any downgrades creating more CA slots, but I have to think that's minimal.)
• So the outcome of the vacancy bid can provide an educated guess about the composition of new-hire class drops over the next 30-ish days.
Izzat about right?

Since I'm not on property (yet), forgive my lack of understanding in terms of how vacancy bids correspond with class drops. I think this means that:
• At some point soon, this bid will close
• Whatever spots are not taken, will be offered to new hires
• So for example if on this bid, 95 pilots bid for CA upgrades in the bases and numbers listed, there would be 0 CA drops offered to new hires after this bid closes. (This would ignore the effect of any downgrades creating more CA slots, but I have to think that's minimal.)
• So the outcome of the vacancy bid can provide an educated guess about the composition of new-hire class drops over the next 30-ish days.

So, for the new bid 2408, that award will likely post on the 15th or the 18th. Any unfilled assignments would then be good for them to use in any class through the middle of June. 2407 was awarded on Feb 16th, so those unfilled assignments are good till May 18th. 2406 was awarded on Jan 16th, so those are good till April 17th . 2405 was awarded on Dec 21st, so those unfilled expire Mar 22nd.
The company gets to decide which of the unfilled assignments they offer to which class, so as long as they still have unfilled assignments from a vacancy bid less than 92 days ago they are free to use whichever ones they want in whichever order they have the greatest need.

We are still taking delivery of close to 100 airframes this year and still have close to 300 pilots retiring this year.
hiring might slowdown…instead of classes of 60 maybe just 40-50. Breathe

Alaska: October CJO, "stay tuned for February class date confirmation letter"...then crickets...then "all classes are cancelled until at least Q4 2024."
SWA: October CJO, Jan class date pushed to March. Then "All classes after March cancelled for 2024."
UAL: December CJO, April class date...now the rumors of May-July class cancellations.
So far AA (December CJO, April class date) is the only one that hasn't either cancelled classes, or is rumored to be about to cancel classes.
Maybe I'll just go to Braniff

Thank you sir. The rumors of May/June/July class cancellations sure got my attention. I mean, my experience over the past couple months has been:
Alaska: October CJO, "stay tuned for February class date confirmation letter"...then crickets...then "all classes are cancelled until at least Q4 2024."
SWA: October CJO, Jan class date pushed to March. Then "All classes after March cancelled for 2024."
UAL: December CJO, April class date...now the rumors of May-July class cancellations.
So far AA (December CJO, April class date) is the only one that hasn't either cancelled classes, or is rumored to be about to cancel classes.

the poster who spewed all that BS is a massive United troll and is a very negative person.
you will be fine United will not be pausing hiring it just may slow down….thats it. We are no longer hiring for 2024….we are now hiring for summer 2025.

email sent to all HFPD instructors. No classes may/june. They staff this with pilots in other positions for basic indoc. There's a lead time for all the moving parts. Does not mean interviews will stop. Does not mean hiring will stop. I don't know those answers. Just the above I mentioned
