So from what I gather, if I don't request a specific airframe then the seat lock is a shorter time than it would be if I did make a specific request. That being said, at this time what would a new hire likely be assigned?

OpSpecs are company specific, and according to the original poster the company that he was looking at going was one that required only a single pilot per that company's manual. Without knowing exactly which operator he is considering it's hard to know what the situation is, though we can gather it is vfr only. Maybe that company just needs to find new insurance.

They are, and yet they are generic. Certificate holders assemble the opspec from a sort of catalog, if you will.
For example "C055" : derived alternate mins.
C055 is in the opspec's of several, if not most, air carriers.

If there is an opspec for SIC required under VFR, I'm sure somebody knows the listing for it.

Curious...

If I applied today when could I expect to get an interview? Class date?

There doesn't seem to be too many career/interview events listed on their calendar for this month. At least none that I can attend...

Just cruising by, but I'll offer this as an anecdote...
Thirty years ago or so, when I was working lineservice during high school on the weekend at our local airport, my boss came to me and asked if I wanted to sit right seat in the Citation for a day. What? Who, me? SURE!!!
It turned out they couldn't get a hold of their normal standby pilot. It was a Citation I, (CE-500, certified for single-pilot operations), they didn't need me, but it would've kept the insurance people, (and pax), happy.
The standby pilot eventually showed up, (this was waaay before cellphones), and they left without me. I was crushed.
That is what off-the-cuff pt.135 is like.

So, would you have taken my time seriously? (I didn't even have a license yet, it might have been "dual given".)
How hard up is OO HR in filling classes? That's the question.
My take? It'd be great exposure and experience, but if you're just there to satisfy their insurer, well...

Well, we can only hope it does.
Here's the scheduled deliveries:

Nice... thanks for that. Will the ones for Delta be based in SEA?

With our current need for pilots, probably at the next available ground school. I believe we're running 2 a month.

For now yes. LAX and SFO will most likely be DL bases as well

Apply today, get an interview tomorrow and get a class date 2 weeks from now.

Seriously.

Don't bother with the career events (i.e. spending any of your own $). Apply online.
