Delta's next AE

[GogglesPisano]

What is the general consensus as to where new hires will be placed this year in regards to base/fleet?

ATL 88 and 717, NYC 88 and 320 (maybe 737,) DTW 717 and 320.

And because of this won't they have to be posting AEs just about every new-hire class? I thought they had to offer any vacancies to seniority list pilots first before new-hires. If this is the case, there will have to be an AE posted just about everytime they run a new-hire class, right? Unless they post something like 200 ATLM88B vacancies knowing they will not have bidders for it. Then all new-hires go there?

Thoughts?

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner.

In the distant past they posted more slots than they will fill with a Training Window that accounts for planned hiring.

They'll likely do the same going forward, but what do I know...

If they open a new aircraft base. Ex. open a 737 base in MSP. Can anyone in company bid it even if on a seat lock? Like 1 year lock for new hires or 2 year if you recently went through aircraft switch.

Yes. A freeze would not stop someone from bidding a newly-opened category.
