I apologize if this is in poor taste. But this j**kass seemed hell bent on our demise. Punish me if you must:

The vacancies don't tell the whole story. They tell most of it. The saying bid what you want, want what you bid is very very good advice.

During the last hiring cycle, newhires got some surprisingly good seats and some Capt seats went pretty junior too (although not to newhires).

Next AE out in Sept? Maybe earlier depending on bypass returnee, flow thru, hiring, etc. Good Luck.

When, if ever, are out of base white slips awarded?

Depends on the need. I looked through a few categories this AM and I was one awarded in the ATL ER B.

When I was bidding them and they were there for the taking I'd typically get them around 2300 - 0100 the night before the trip started.

You are a patient man. I consider 30 seconds on hold providing notification of a deviation.

They are awarded whenever scheduling covers trips.
ie = it could be awarded immediately when a trip drops into open time for that day or it could be done during the normal PCS run.

Out of base white slips are only good for same day or next day trips.

Thanks, That explains it. This was for a trip on 12 Jun

The best chance for getting one is with less than 12 hrs notice. Scheduling will offer an out of base white slip before using a short call reserve pilot. What I find odd is that if it's more than 12 hours to report, they will use a short call pilot before an out of base white slip.

Section 23. M, N, O cover it in detail.
