Any word on the seat locks lately?
Watch the Compass "bailout."

Actually, the newest guy to upgrade was in the Aug. 30th class, making that a 34 day upgrade. We're down to days! From what I'm told, he's ex-Pinnacle and a super good guy.

You will bid for your base based on seniority in your class which is based on age. If you get the SF3, you will initially go to DTW or MEM. 3-5 months to hold MSP. If you get the CRJ you will go to MSP automatically, since they are all based there. If you get the CR9, you will get MSP or DTW depending on what is available at the time your class begins.

...but there are SO many people that got bypassed to get to that August 2007 hire.

Considering the speed in which things are moving everyone is is probably thinking that they'll stay a FO for a few more months now so that they can make the ~$13k more a year as a CRJ CA rather than a SF3 CA for the 2 year seat lock.

I was in a July class and we were warned by our instructor not to put anything ahead of ourselves on the preference bid that we absolutely didn't want...because we just might get it before we know it!

That's true. You mean if you put down CRJ CA a your first choice and Saab CA as your bottom choice, they will bypass you? My name was not even on the list as being bypassed and I am wondering if that is why my name got left out. Not that I want to upgrade to SF3.

I don't think you're "bypassed" until you actually have ATP mins (hrs/written).

But I've got the ATP already. I am thinking it i because I put the SF3 CA on my bottom list below CRJ CA on Preference Bid form on line. I don't know. Although it doesn't really concern me because I am not anxious to upgrade to SF3.
