There were some gomers a few classes back who quit b/c they didn't seem to understand that their first award wasn't a permanent thing for the rest of their careers, and that they would likely bid out of Hawaii/Dulles prior to completing training, or so I've heard.

If someone were to take a september class date, do you think they would have missed the boat on the quick upgrade that has been talked about, or the posibility of said person to get into a PHX base within a year? Any thoughts?

Depending on a myriad of factors, I think the quick upgrade (~1.5 years) will last 1-2 more years. After that, I'd speculate it will only go up to 2.5-3.5 years for the foreseeable future.

PHX - it's possible within a year, I'd like to say likely.

Depends on hiring at the legacies and the overall economy--if age 65 materializes into decent attrition, the ball could keep rolling for a while.

Watch and see.

The circumstances are certainly ripe. Any specific news?

Pretty much everyone in ORD got a line for August, even the most junior pilot.
