Any word what equipment will be offered to the Sept and Oct newhires? Will -400 training be starting soon?

 

[tubineotter]

it could be anything 742 744 or 777. sorry not much help but i dont even think the training depo has a good idea of who is going where yet? to many spots to fill and not enough time. good problem to have, I guess? stand by to stand by

[ROSWELL41]

they haven't announced anything, did you get hired?

Yeah.

 

[swordfish]

Yeah.

welcome, the problem with being 400 or 777 street FO is that your going to be aircraft lock for 2 years, i don't think your going to be able to upgrade in 2 years on 400 or 777, but if your in the classic there going to be alot of movement so i see upgrade being fast. food for thought.

also Southern has announced the purchases of 10- 400's with delivery dates of 2012-early 2013

 

[ROSWELL41]

How fast is realistic for upgrade on the Classic? I've 'seen that movie before' so to speak and it didn't work out the way people told me it would. I guess I take upgrade projections with a grain of salt.

ask the next loadmaster you run into, they got the email last week! pilot are always left in the dark. i would post where the plane are coming from but it probably not a good idea to show our cards.

take it for what u want, but you will be aircraft lock on what ever plane you get. as it stand right now eveyone is jumping off the classic to the 400 and 777. with that said educated guess on upgrade for someone coming off the street- classic 1-3 years. 400's 3-6 years, 777, at least 10 years. Remember SA staffs 8 Capt Per plane.
