The tri-DC airport area with the projected growth of the 73 may open up some slots .. but when is anyone's guess.... Just a poolie interpreting the public forum (that will get you in trouble)..... waiting to get to training!!!:D S6 Yes, assume a start in EWR for everybody, for awhile. However, here's my A-320 new hire case as an example (this is the good part). I just finished my first and only three days of reserve in EWR...my only three days...ever. :D I start in SFO next month (days off until then). I live in Sacramento, so it is a drive-able commute, albeit a nasty one at times as it took 4 hours to get home tonight from OET class due to the ridiculous Friday afternoon traffic. The key here was that a vacancy bid came open while I was in the indoc class and I was awarded the lateral from EWR to SFO. It had an effective date of 1 April, but pilot planning moved the date up 1 month to 2 March. Pretty darn awesome...no complaints here. |

Would I be wrong to think that for those in the 17th class that want to be out West and we get the 756, we can plan to be easily 1.5 years in EWR/DCA until we get out West? |

That could be a fairly good assumption, unless you could get to IAH on it.

For example: The company said last summer that the next 12 months of new hire classes would be all in EWR, yet here we are with IAD and IAH being assigned in Indoc. Every vacancy bid, each position goes more junior, so at some point we are just going to have more vacancies everywhere (except probably DEN). Two things are most likely, there will be vacancies in EWR for a long time, and other bases will have openings as well. But its really hard to say it will take 1.5 years to get to SFO on the 767 fleet just because that's how long it took the guys right now. Also when the 787 fence falls in December a lot of guys will certainly bid over for better pay and seniority and that will shake things up as well. At least that's my observation after watching the last 19 years of staffing happen. |

Is IAH going to guys with less than 1.5 years on the 756 as of right now? Thanks!

I'll be heading to class the 17th as well! Counting the days. See everyone there.
