Again we are diving into semantics and hypotheticals that vary significantly depending on the individual, but I imagine a pilot that bids for an A position in NYC, unless local, has a bit more flexibility than the situation you mention.

You are the one getting into hypotheticals by assuming unlimited green slips and rolling thunder along with indefinite 10% PS and unlimited life flexibility. In your make believe world anyone off year one pay should be making at least $400k.

I was awarded an A position in the September AE, training in November with a conversion in January. In the sample October AE it showed me awarded a different base. Assuming that holds when the final results come out, how likely is it that my conversion date will still be January? What drives the conversion date decisions?

Depends on the “from” and “to” bases. But typically, base changes happen earlier rather than later in the window. The prime exception if you are leaving a shorter-staffed base, like NYC.

There is a good chance with one month between the two awards, you won’t have to actually fly in the “old” base - again depending on what time of the month your 44X is.

Thanks

In my case, FROM is NYC, TO is DTW, and my 44X is scheduled for 12/18.

Put in an OE request for DTW with the OE planner. I think it’s past the iCrew template cutoff for Dec (but not Jan…). You might actually get Christmas off if you ask nicely Stopping by in person also helps. Bearing gifts.

Last day for requests is the 19th. Just put in for DTW OE for Dec and Jan. Thanks for the reminder!

Oh, good deal. Glad it worked for Dec.

FWIW, when I upgraded, I walked to the 4th floor and into the training planner and asked nicely if there was a way I could have Christmas morning off (I added I hade out of town son and his wife coming for Christmas). But if not, I understood. She was very kind and hooked me up with the whole day. Worth a shot!

Good luck with the quick conversion. At worst, maybe one month in NYC? 🤞🏼

$314/hour is $271,000. That’s a LONG way from $400k. I’m starting to wonder if you just post non sense to rile up the crowd.
