Heck I’m think 12XXX this time around and it’s December training. I got a lot of confidence this time around. The last AE had 11X hit DTW330 and there weren’t any openings so this time with 9… I’m thinking it’ll be a celebration for us junior folks! I’ll include all of you in my acceptance speech. Thanks for the love and support for Flexy! I know it’s silly but for someone who has been dreaming of flying over the North Atlantic their whole life, it’s pretty exciting

And if you’re already on the 320 (I have no idea which category you’re in), only 2 weeks of training, which is why I want 330 A over A350A, but I’ll take either too. Good luck Flex! We’re all rooting for you!

CBreezy's post above is correct. A vacancy is a vacancy whether created by the company or by secondary (or tertiary, etc) movement. That's why we've been seeing so much NYC for new hires as these monthly bids have kicked off. Everyone bails from NYC to their desired base ASAP, leaving huge holes in NYC, which then get offered to the next few classes until the next AE restarts the process all over again.
Secondary vacancies are how the first new hires got DTW 350 a year or two ago. An AE had 0 DTW 350B positions, but due to secondaries there were 10-15 DTW 350B spots available that no one bid for (or no one with a bid in was eligible due to seat locks or bid qualifiers). Then everyone was shocked when new hires got DTW 350B with no positions posted on the previous AE. But that is how the process correctly plays out. Hence why if you really want a particular positions, make sure you bid it even if the AE has 0 postings in that position because there are almost always secondary positions in nearly every category each AE.

There are so few widebody positions west of the mississippi at this airline. Plenty of senior people Denver and west who are waiting to live the WBB life and not have to commute forward in time zones to a midwestern or east coast hub. I’ll be amazed if it cracks 8,5XX.
