You can say that again.

Last time I checked it was about 15 years.

747

Anybody know how selective UPS is currently being with assigning folks to 747, right out of training? More specifically, I have Mil Heavy time (~1800) and the rest light and large. Will I have a good chance of getting the 747?

So what base and equipment is trending to be the most junior and how many years are we looking at?

Also, how long before being awarded MIA 75/76 and how many years for upgrade there? I get the impression it is a small and senior domicile with not much movement.

Right seat, new hires can hold it in the next system bid after getting hired, if you did not get in indoc, assuming you get 75/76 as a new hire. Any other plane gets an 18 month equipment lock.

That depends on whether junior guys can hold it. Depending on time of year and fleet/domicile, reserve can go senior. Suffice it to say, that whatever isn’t a good deal will be available to you.

Before this craziness, RSV in MIA was very senior. You had to wait a few years to hold it. But now since the company has been using and abusing reserves more, it is trending a bit more junior. We have about 8-10 guys in MIA who are professional reservists. That likely won’t change.
