Also, does anyone know if any of the Sim or Ground School Training for the upcoming 747 bid will be done off campus? It's tempting to go to a growing fleet and gain 40% seniority. But would like to train in Montreal, Denver, etc.

Hopefully you live near ANC, as the commute will definitely get worse as 82 more crews are added to ANC.

It's a start for sure, but lags what other airlines can do.

Does anyone know if they're planning on having a mock bid? ..when is this bid closing again?
I'm guessing that reserves will be getting used on most fleets because of the numerous training events.
We've got the 76 cockpit upgrades followed by differences training, the same with 74 crews getting the dash-8 differences training. ..and isn't Airbus getting some kind of modification too?
I figured no matter which fleet you're on - if you're on reserve you'll be flying for the next couple of years.

And with 5 747-8's coming in 2018, probably will see another System Bid in the Fall 2017. Plus the 777F order.
