I guess I don't see the relevancy of knowing how many of each plane to a particular class.
First, you would have to know how many unbid positions were left from the latest AE and then keep track of every single indoc class to know how many of those unbid positions remain to be filled.
Then if you knew that, you would have to know the company short term sim training capabilities in the 4-6 weeks following your particular indoc date.
One class could have a peanut butter spread of 3-4 planes to every domicile. then next class, Boom....30 x NYC A-220's and 30 x NYC 737's.
Past performance does not guarantee future results come to mind.

I've not seen many A320s drop for Atlanta recently. Are there more 73nb in Atlanta than 320s? I've looked around but did not see the anything on this, so sorry if I missed it somewhere.

The 320 base in ATL is actually much larger than the 73N base. But the 320 tends to be more senior, and less spots to fill in ATL.

There were about 8 classes with ATL320B on them between April and July, the latest AE has about 33 total leaving overall. I’d suspect with another AE coming (upgrades and widebody focus was the rumors I heard) I’m sure it’ll come back. The 320 has taken alot of the old 88 routes with 3-4 legs a day and people want to transition out of that.

What normally happens is the class that starts right after the AE award comes out will not get their drop the week prior like normal since those spots wouldn’t count any more. That class would generally get their drop and make their selections on the first day of indoc.

Nothing is affected until the AE award actually comes out. Until that time all NH spots are pulled from the last AE. Practically, there is very little effect as nearly every single narrow body FO seat in every base will have unfilled seats so the drops won’t significantly change. The biggest question is will there be any more unfilled 767-400 spots like there were last AE, and will we ever see unfilled spots on either the 330 or 350.
