New system bid
 

Details coming out tmrw...hiring will continue thru 2025

108 new captains, 32 FOs. Tomorrow we find out the fleets.

Holding out for left seat on the A350:D

​​​​350s 🫣 would be all captains in cargo right, single pilot 😬

Not without significant changes to the FARs. I’m more concerned with an A350 order materializing than the single pilot stuff.

For those not familiar with the vacancy bids, this will create 140 new hires, correct?

Yes..on top of the 100 or so new hire positions still left from the last bid

Vacancy openings
 

FO’s:

2 SDF A300
7 ANC 747
6 75 Domestic SDF
10 Z (SDF 76 intl)
3 ONT 75/6
4 MIA 75/6

Captain side has 38 in ANC 74, 28 Z, with a little going everywhere else.

Note: what will be available to future new hires will differ from this list due to the shuffling after awards are made.

More Z than expected...maybe we will get a new intl route

or more domestic flying, which is efficient for deficit restorations.

And 74. Interesting that most of the current growth looks to be on international fleets even though the postal flying is mostly domestic.
