I am not sure of any others. I will be bidding for ORD

Aren't SFO, IAD, EWR, and IAH the only choices for the classes? Do the returning furloughees pick with the new hires?

I think he was trying to get an idea what bases the returning pilots would pick out of SFO, IAD, EWR, and IAH.

I'm wondering if DCA or EWR will go junior. Would love the 756. Thoughts?

Those are the only choices for the Jan 27th class. Not sure how it works for returning furloughees. I don't think ORD is an option. Yes I'm trying to figure out what will go senior.

I returned last year so already have a bid and thus won't effect others in class. I am just finally making it to a class now and my aircraft training is already in my schedule. I believe all class bids are seniority based so furlough returns would be above new hires.

Ok that makes sense. I was told 17 new hires, 4 returnees, but only 20 openings, so it makes sense that you won't be bidding. I'm curious if 737 SFO might go senior. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I am also a return furloughee coming back Jan 27.... I will be bidding for SFO. I heard there was another furloughee type also wanting SFO, but don't know what class he took... (Last I heard, they had 5 737's to SFO in the Jan 20th class also)

Non-Rev:

could have been me. EWR 737 (Dec 9th class). waiting for a vacancy bid to SFO.

Cheers,

PS welcome back

T333- Thanks...
just never know when they'll have vacancies & when they'll offer dom/a/c to new hires/returnees. The huge vacancy bid was last October... too bad you missed that chance for SFO. Hope it will happen soon for you.

Returning pilots bid separately from new hires. When my class began, the returnees already knew their assignments. The equipment drop quoted when you are called for a class date is for new hires only.
