They are still sending some new hires to FDAs last couple of classes. We are expecting a large bid to come out any day now, and it will probably change the dynamic of where new hires are placed. If you have 100+ hours in 767/757 you are likely a good candidate for HKG or CGN, but it depends on what they need to fill. Did they tell you what you might be interviewing for?

good for you having a 76 type but it means nothing unless you accept an FDA. As stated, seats based on last 4 of SSN. Good luck!

Based upon seniority order in your class, for whatever seats they need to fill at the time. Seniority is decided by last four of your ssn. Lowest to highest 0000-9999.

No word on anything specific. I'm hoping to get a FDA. Figured it was the standard SSN but wasn't sure if having a type makes a difference in that decision. Thanks for the info!

It sounds like you get offered a class with boeing and airbus or you are hand picked for the mad dog. Then day one of class you bid for aircraft? Then based on aircraft award you bid base? Or is the aircraft and base bid simultaneous?
I guess I am really currious when you would know both base and aircraft.

If you are "hand picked" for a particular aircraft type they simply hire the group a day before a class starts and thus establish your employment date and seniority number. They then only offer that aircraft type to your class to "bid". The next day they start the other pilots and offer them what ever other aircraft slots they want to fill and those pilots get to bid their preference in seniority order, just like you did, except your class only had a single choice available.
Once on board, however, if they open up a new system bid you can bid whatever you want. They may not train you in the new seat for some time, but eventually you will get to go the seat you held on the new system bid.

Everyones got their favorite, but the MD11 bidpack has a lot of variety. While it is true some of the international flying has been wet leased out or migrated to the 777, I would still argue you will see a lot of good flying in a jet thst is comfortable and pleasant to fly. Generally speaking, you also do not see 2 legs outbound on the AM launch very frequently.
