Yeah. You award 120+ Captain slots and who knows how many First Officer slots and you pretty much saturate the training centers.

This still doesn't look like as many vacancies as there were at UAL pre-2001. And there were 110-120 new hires a month. Time to go back to year round training. There still isn't enough new pilot hiring to fill the training pipeline ... That used to be more than 1000 pilots just to keep up with training.

Biggest monthly vacancy bid I saw back then had 670 total vacancies filled. And that didn't include the 25 new hires every week.

Hey did anyone ask the age breakdown in the Jan 13th class? Just curious where I fall. (1974)

Congrats to all in the new classes. Looking forward to having you with us on the line.

Cheers Seamus. How do you like the schedules on the 75? You EWR based?

Is seniority in class by age now or is it still last 4 of SSN?

I was born in 1977 and was #4 in the class with a few people still left to call. Seniority in the new hire class is based on age.

Awesome. That could mean I am the old F$&k in the class or close to it !!! Lol.

LUAL was last 4 SSN. LCAL was age (oldest = more senior)

The one moving forward is the LCAL method for class seniority ranking, which I like better.

I noticed on the seniority list two pilots, twin brothers, both hired in the same new hire class. I have no idea how they determined which one got to be senior (SSN, Alphabetical by first name) I think they were LCAL pilots.
