Trust me after being on property for two weeks I have no idea how the pick the availability for initial bids. Makes no sense to us. Someone mentioned it's all based on sim availability.

On the other side almost all the CA upgrades and movement into the 737/777 have come from the 320. In order to upgrade the CAs and 777 FOs we need we have to put new hires on the 320. They can hold the 737 pilots tell the last day of the bid and then activate them without training and that is exactly what they will do.


Thanks MOP that makes better sense.

Dear Dec. 9th Class,
There will likely be another Vacancy bid before you're even done with training so things will change.
Later on tonight, perhaps in some dimly-lit noisy location, your perspective may be altered and this somehow won't seem so important...
Drink up and GOD SAVE THE BALL!

Sorry about that, I don't know why it says A350, it is the A320.

Thanks for the info.

It was sooooo loud at the "after party" (Shotgun Willies) I couldn't get any sleep last night at the Cherry Creek Inn. Well done guys!

I thought you would be the one swinging from the chandeliers and chaperoning the 8 ball down to Colfax in search of lively companionship

A couple guys coming back from furlough returnees, a few coming back from LOAs, 4 FTIs (fleet technical instructors) and approximately 20 new hires. Mock bid was done today, looks like the first two will take the 737 EWR, and everyone else will be on the a350


Hey R1830

You wouldn't happen to have the breakdown for the Jan 13th class would you. I was told the expect that class but have not received the final call as of yet. Assuming it will be in next few days. But would love to see AC slots for that class if you have time.

Cheers

Just curious when you interviewed.

Do you know if they will be hiring any ERJ-145 co-pilots or if they are hiring for that spot?? Seems we are running low on pilots just wondering
