That is not usual, is it?

Back in the day (late '90s) many new hire slots were ORD. My class in '96 was all ORD with one DEN '727. I expect ORD 320 and 737 FO will become regularly available for new hires.

Finalized agreements to take delivery of two additional used Airbus A320 aircraft by the end of 2017.

Its 2 new airplanes in the next 2 months that sounds pretty good to me.

Quick question for the group...

Has the company's message about no longer paying more than two SC/FS aggressive pickups changed anyone's mind about this vacancy bid?

Kind of curious if anyone is really even thinking about it.

Its 5 the first 2 aren't paid, so 76 hrs. Unless the co puts you on more. So the trick will be to get the girst 5 quick and have 5-6 days available at the end of your months.

Wait what? If you pick up the 5 the company can give you more and you work free. Doesn't seem like a great strategy. I've stopped picking them up 100%.
