I have stupid questions too!
Are they putting new hires on the airbus? I only ask because I already fly the thing. I'm fully aware that my future place is in the seat of a 737 whether I like it or not (including my current airline).
Also are they only located in the CA bases or did they spread them out after acquiring VX?

I assume they're putting new hires there because there's nothing to keep more senior new hires from bidding off of the bus asap (no seat lock). They still have to man them for as long as they have left.

Or they aggressively displace off the bus and then realize their mistake and they're forced to backfill later.

Will this new TA improve schedule flexibility at all with PBS coming? I did see some responses earlier that mentioned it may be easier for commuters to list for JS with the TA.
I have seen several screen shots of FOs at Frontier and Spirit showing approved drop/trade/swap requests in Flica to adjust their respective schedules. Wondering if this could be similar at Alaska in the coming months?

I talked to the recruiter today and asked about this. She says they intend on putting all new hires in the 737.

I think that is simply bad info…the 2023-02 position bid has at least 30 spots for new hired to fill on the 320 in LAX. I think it’s possible to get now, but will certainly fade as time goes on.
