basically the jet has high time lines with a fair amount of days off. the props have low time lines with minimum days off (11).

Does anybody from TSA have a good idea or educated opinion on the f/o vacancies coming up for the April class? I would think there would be quite a bit more jet spots. I'm just looking at the number of people that have been assigned the prop in the last year, who are seat locked.

Smokey, I am guessing that you're right, more jet spots for the April class. The last 3 classes(starting with mine) had roughly 15 J41 FO's, totaling 45 for the 3 classes. Since all the new planes coming are jets, they should be stocked up on 41 FO's. However, there is a fairly steady stream of 41 Captains going to the jet, so depending on that #, they must be replaced with 41 upgrades and then newhire 41 FO's at the bottom. Confused? Me too. Just come on over, they both pay the same and I need the seniority!! Good luck.

"upgrades in a year" It looks like there would have to be a lot more growth than is already planned. I have no 121 or jet time, but am still holding out for the jet. If I get the prop, I guess I'll have to deal with the longer hours and less pay, but would still be happier then where I'm at now.

Well, at least you don't have Cleveland anymore. ( I'm not talking about KCLE.)

How is seniority determined in class?

Last 4 digits of SSN.

0001 = GOOD

9999 = BAD

Prepare for RIC base initially.
60% JET
40% J41
00% ATR
