Cool 787 out of PHL

Searching older threads didn’t turn up much info. Any idea how long it would take to bid the 787 out of PHL? Thanks!

Thanks! Can you elaborate more? I just got my CJO with an availability of Feb 24. My plan is to hopefully get NB out of DCA but curious how soon WB out of PHL would be available.

The vacancy bid that came out today had a ton of PHL787 openings.

787 PHL is arguably the most desirable in the company. The most junior FO there has been in that same spot for at least the last few awards and other, more senior, pilots keep coming in above him on each of the awards.

It is likely to have a few pilots move in behind him on this next vacancy, but it will still be well over 5 years to hold 787 PHL. I know at least a dozen pilots that have been here at least 5 years that have that as their first choice, including me.

+1. Best flying in the system. I have that as my first choice and will ride it out for the next 15 years if I can get it.

I would argue that DFW has the best in the system: basically the same Europe destinations minus Portugal, and has Asia, South America, Australia, Hawaii, and a couple domestic US cities also. PHL has zero South America, and does not go beyond LAX west coast.

They are both excellent, I am just saying DFW basically hits all the international sectors, not just Europe.

But DFW...gross. No one wants to be in the Metroplex.

I'm sure you'll get it. 45 slots, and a dozen you know of leaves good odds.
​​​​​​im not sure how many going NB to WB, but I bet 5 or 10 of those 78 right seaters are going to go left seat of those 40 slots.

Though if for arguments sake, if all 40 78 FOs go CA, would that mean 40 more vacancy awards NB FO on this bid? Or would those be the known vacancies for the next bid?
