Has anyone estimated the growth in the 330 category in terms of staffing after orders are complete? Could be a clue as to how junior it will get no? I'm thinking 4000s on the CA side in NYC by the end of this year.

Any time there are WB A spots offered there will be a cascading effect of NB A openings due to senior NB As taking the upgrade. Those vacancies are usually backfilled, but not always. If there is a NB A position you want that is not posted, put it on your bid or you won’t get it.
You can’t get an award unless you have a bid in. Good luck!

Not arguing it can’t. But see how they opened SEA. It will still make sense for them to open a smaller base then move up from there. Not that I’d expect BOS320 to be heavily bid though. Maybe I’m wrong on that. SLC330 will definitely be senior and bid by a lot of people.

January 2045 AE Memo: we’re still evaluating SLC 330, but not until after the summer.

Anyone got a wag on what % of the pilot group is currently on a seat lock and forced to sit this AE out?

Rough math would be a minimum of 4000 locked. Probably a similar number that aren’t ever leaving their category. So safe bet is 5000 pilots are eyeing this bid with at least percentage based bids or dream bids in. As you can see Oofff was right, pretty impossible to know.

Napkin math: 2500-3000 new hires on Soft lock (2 years with carve out of 1 year in certain scenarios). 1500-2000 upgrades and or normal bids since the last AE of 2020, some of those are upgrades from the new hire group though.

That being said, it’ll be interesting to see when the next one is. They mentioned March as a possible small one, but the Apr 2020s will still be locked.
