Those seats are going junior for a reason. The flying is horrible!

Thanks.

UAL 2000 hire. CAL 2008 hire. Almost the bottom of the pre-merger list. Just above the post-merger hires.

Historically the first few snapshots where indicative of the movement. It seems that it takes senior guys time to put their bids in. I don't put too much into this one. Time will tell.

Anyone with summer plans would have to wonder about their training date not happening until then given how long it often takes to get a class date.

The snapshot is wrong. It did not look at MANY standing bids. Don't get your hopes up. Sorry dudes.

Nothing happens fast when you're engrossed in the current issue from the AARP ;-)

ERJ, that's funny. I meant to say the first few were NOT indicative of normal bidding but after a few drinks.... Ahh who cares.

What's currently going on in the 737 training pipeline?

I've seen a lot of 737 vacancies posted here but the new-hire classes so far this year have been mostly A320 and 756 slots. Are there a lot of upgrades and transitions currently in 737 training?
