I've done both. This is a much better gig.

Default DAL Poolie Info

CJO a few weeks ago, then put into psych holding pattern until today, got the good news, probably December class. Very excited. Can someone tell me what all the aircraft types at each domicile are? I have gathered bits and pieces, but I don't think I have the full picture. (I also know this is ever changing info)

With the hiring at 100+/month the time to hold any base is coming down quickly. At the current pace of hiring I would say new hires can probably get to any base except SEA in less than 6 months - provided that they are not seat-locked out of that base.

SEA currently has no narrow-body equipment and so it might take a little longer.

It is conceivable in 6 months that new-hires could be coming to the west coast out of training.

I know there are 3/2014 hires in SLC (or at least will be in December). A320 and 73N folks.

A guy in the 1st class of October has already been awarded SLC (another got LAX). Both 73N if I remember correctly.

Now that's what I want to hear! Was there an AE that opened right after class started to facilitate that option to move so quickly?

Yes, I believe they were awarded their new base on Friday of week 1 of Indoc.
