Always great to see these kind of numbers for us guys and gals looking to move on from the regionals! :cool:

Btw... Does this mean these are the openings forecasted through April of next year?

Basically, Yes.

Positions unfilled will go to new hires.

Sort of. We have these every month. Some of these were unfilled from the last bid like the Newark guppy FOs. The ORD 747 and LAX 787 are new bases so they have to staff them up.

Most of the other FO positions are just being filled from previously unfilled vacancies as well.

New hires are going mostly to the guppy and we will start seeing them in the bus in greater numbers.

Cool. Thanks

Anyone know if new hires end up going to Guam? If so how long is it mandatory that you have to stay over there?

If you're talking about being non-vol, they usually get enough volunteers to cover the vacancies. New hires who volunteer get significant benefits for doing so. 2nd year pay, paid move both ways if you stay 36 months, not to mention the $3000/mo everyone gets.

B-1 Pilots staffed to flying positions in the Guam Base shall receive, in addition to all other compensation, a Foreign Base Allowance in the amount of $3,000 per month for each month of Active Service.

B-1-b At his option, a Pilot assigned to Guam who is in his first year of employment shall receive an eighteen (18) month Base freeze and be paid using the second-year pay rate (in Status), or no Base freeze and be paid using the first-year pay rate.

H-2 Pilots transferring or assigned to the Guam Base shall be entitled to a paid move to Guam, provided they remain in Guam for a minimum of eighteen (18) months of Active Service.

H-3 A Pilot who received a paid move to Guam and has provided thirty-six (36) months of Active Service on Guam shall be entitled to a paid move from Guam.

thanks, appreciate it

So many fo bids, so few captain bids. Makes you wonder why, especially with summer just around the corner. We still have one pilot retiring every 18 hours right?
