Thanks Candler! I'm sure I'll get the skinny over the next few weeks.

Anybody have any updates to the rumored class or classes after the 28th?

I would guess 10 out of 12 months a year I actually start in HSV. And probably 8 out of 12 months I operate into or DH into HSV after my trip is over. Not EVERYTHING is into and out of HSV when based there, but a majority is. Sitting R2 at home (if within 130 miles of HSV) can be nice.

Thanks Chip, great insight. I had a friend that was awarded HSV, while in training, about a year ago, however I guess there were a lot of classes and movement then.

When I was in HSV, they almost always started there, but they ended a lot of places. I never flew to Africa from there...sounds like it's all changed...

I started flying the line in June 13. I was in ANC through Dec. then CVG Jan - Mar 14. Currently assigned to HSV. I live in CHS and am happy with HSV. E commute to both HSV and CVG is the same due to schedules 3-4.5 hours depending on flight availability. I did my first afghan line in April. I have to say that was one I the best supported missions out of Brize that I've been on so far. While the ground time in Afghanistan is long it makes for a good nap. With PAE currently taking 20 FOs that will shake things up...a bit. Im not sure where the "new" 3 jets are being placed but that might changes the numbers as well. For my class junior to senior bases were: ANC, CVG, HSV MIA. Folks have bid for JFK and LAX but no one has had success yet.

With a screen name like that...absolutely. If I only had that kind of pull... You certainly have a better chance than if you do not apply at all. Good Luck!

Sounds like interviews May 6-8 and a class in May but the latter is a distant rumor and I certainly don't have a date for it. Anyone else hear about a class date?

I think they are going to have the 747 loaded up so when the seat locks expire, the company will be able to control the flow.

Any emails going out for testing? I completed my ATP last week and FINALLY submitted my app on the same day, as Atlas is my #1 choice. Anyone gotten looked at with 2000TT, military, and lots of ocean crossings?
