I've 2 friends who got into that class. Both in their 40s and both want 737 SFO. But who knows. It could all change before you get there. Might open up more west slots, or more east coast slots. You won't really know until the practice bid on day 1.

To sum up...
looks like the rumors have the drop with a smattering of 737, Airbus, and 756 at a cross-section of bases... so it should have something for everyone. Ultimately though, no use worrying about it too much, since we will find out what the options are when we get there.
This is everyone who seems like they are in the class:
DGFlyer03: 29, EWR
Nooner: 38, EWR
Friend of Flip69#1: 40+, 737 SFO
Friend of Flip69#2: 40+, 737 SFO
Captain822: 37, 737 SFO or 320 IAH
Killdeer: ORD
Nonrev4funn: SFO
Pilot64Golfer?
Noreast: ?, unknown, but assuming EWR based on handle.
that being said, that's only about half the class. I'm just stoked to be there. Happy to get something with wings.
If it helps settle people's minds, I asked where i sat in the stack when I talked to the pilot hiring office about my class date and Doris said, "squarely in the middle," make that of it what you will.
I'm just trying to make this next week go by as quickly as possible.
DGFlyer03, you might be worried about your age with this drop, but I guarantee you, every guy in our class would trade places with you in a second, you'll have 9 years on me when you retire. The #1 most senior guy just turned 60 last July... he is going to sit on the throne for another 4.5 years... you'll come a lot closer to that than I ever will. Also, I heard EWR goes Jr, so you may get your cake and eat it too.
see you guys in 11 days!
