.

Class is 7 Jan, IPA newhire dinner is 15 Jan ;)

Oh, thanks, my bad, typo..

Are the ‘new’ numbers already on the other thread? If so, how do I delete this thread?

They sent us emails today asking which airframe and base today. My options were 75/76 SDF, ONT and MIA or the A300 SDF

Interesting... so no 747ANC options??

Since they’re (supposedly) no longer splitting classes up into heavies and light-twins I wonder who gets to pick 74? ..because I still think there’ll be two 74 slots in that class.

Maybe the two most senior guys/gals in your class have already made their choice? Please let us know how you all ended up picking your airplanes and domiciles?

Welcome onboard!!

You left off the best one... Z

maybe the 15 announced retirements took em by surprise. :cool:

Z was not available. I went back and looked at my email just in case.

In the December system bid, there was actually a reduction in Z FO positions. Now, no one got displaced as multiple Z FO’s moved to other equipment and they backfilled Z positions. Point being, I don’t think there will be any Z positions available to new hires until the next system bid, unless they did not have enough people to backfill vacancies created, I believe Boiler/Whale someone posted rough math of remaining slots for new hires?

And you don’t want to be in Z as a very junior guy anyways. Movement is VERY SLOW compared to domestic.

Positions generated by the Nov 2019 bid:

30 MD11 SDF
34 A300 SDF
48 757 SDF
16 757 MIA
20 757 ONT
37 747 ANC
