That's some ultra conservative thinking. But since they've announced 49 new airplanes in the last 18 months I'd say it's a fair assumption to guess more are on the way. Only question is what type.

Where in the system are you flying? This 20 more 700's for DFW is a rampant rumor in the United ORD/IAD system.

I hear Emirates is sending us some A380's to feed into their Dubai hub.

One other quick question, FO base awards were announced the 21st of last month, but haven't been today. Is it typically the 21st, or just sometime around this part of the month?
Looking at the standing bids page, it would appear they come out in the second half of the month sometime. Could be this week or next. Most often is has been the last week.

Planning & standing bid typically meet once a month, and decide IF they're going to run an award. They don't necessarily run an FO award every month, if they happen to be satisfied with the staffing numbers in all the bases.

Chicago is closing Sep 20th (I think? who knows anymore), so it is likely they'll run a base closure bid from ORD to the other bases eff. Sep 20th--there will likely be people bumped around the system when that happens.

Are there any new hire classes who have not received an initial domicile assignment?

I haven't, but I'm hoping for HNL or KOA.

That makes sense, thanks. I just figured with constant new-hires entering the mix, people would be flowing from junior to senior bases each month. And that was my other point of uncertainty - we haven't received an assignment and some of us are reaching the checkride.

Yeah, I was hoping for Farmington.

I like how APC still lists outdated information on each airline's page. I tried sending an update, but they never bothered to edit anything. I sure would hate for them to omit the most junior Captains in Hawaii.
