Anyone know the class sizes, bases that are open, and aircraft available for the Jan 07 classes?

60/mo through at least May, IAH, CLE , EWR, def. 737 and 757/767... possibly 777.

Should be 16 per class for the near future (20 per class thru this December)...Jan and Feb classes should have 737, 756, and 777. However, realize nothing is final until you get your assignment...a recent sim problem converted all December class slots to 737. Usually base assignments are primarily EWR, with some IAH, and very rarely CLE. GUM is too senior and 99.9 percent of the time won't be assigned out of initial training.

Good luck - so far it's been a great experience.

Have we given any 777 and CLE slots yet to newhires? Should be a new system bid coming out in Jan.

There were a few people getting CLE last month maybe 2 or 3.
As for the 777... A friend of mine starts class in Jan and KD told him that there will be some 777 slots in there. I have heard of them building a class with military and heavy (equipment) guys who would do better in the Triple from the outset, Over the RJ driver

FWIW I heard it was going to 80/month starting in Jan.

KC-135, I can understand, but F-16 or AV-8B pilots over 121 RJ folks? Surely, you jest.

 

[pkober]

Don't call him surely.

Newhire 777 life would suck if you commute. Hopefully they won't do that to a new guy.

At the risk of starting a thread drift.... gimme' a frigging break.

 

[flatspin7]

They want to put people with heavy time weather it be kc-135, c-17, c-5, or big transport jet into the 777. Over the RJ guys... Its a much smoother transition to the 737 from the erj/crj.

I dont know if its true but it came out of a check airman meeting that they were looking at that.

Unless a new system bid comes out in the next few weeks or so there will be newhires in the 777 in Jan or Feb by the latest.

Once you get off first year pay there might be something to be said by living in EWR making 72 bucks an hour X 76 hours for not working.
