In the recent past, if the bottom guys didn't like the choices during the pre-lunch dry run, they could talk to the instructors teaching indoc and get the class drop altered so that there would be equipment available to them that they desired.
They did this for my redoc (when one's been out for a long time, they would send you back through indoc) class and the classes before and after us. Granted, that's been a while, but I am surprised that they'd force someone into the 787. With so many newhires every week, there should be some flexibility on drop composition.

I don't remember any "dry-run" on day one.
What I remember is the instructors saying "You get what you get, and you don't get upset. If you don't like what you got, the door is over there".

mate you familiar with how seniority works? Each class gets ranked by age for seniority purposes and the most senior gets first choice. The most junior gets last choice. Which may not be a choice at all. You are suggesting abrogating seniority.

The people with international WB experience at Atlas or the Military are welcome to bid 777/787 on Day 1 of Basic Indoc as their seniority in class permits. At the end of the day - if nobody wants them - then the 8 ball in the class will be flying a widebody airplane with a captain that could easily be their parent - which I don't think has happened yet but I'm sure it will be posted on FT when it does!

39 - 737 FO (DCA,EWR,SFO,LAX)
13 - 756 FO (DCA, EWR, SFO, LAX)
7 - Airbus FO (DCA, EWR, SFO, LAX, IAH, ORD)
5 - 787 FO (EWR, SFO)
6 - 777 FO (EWR, SFO)
Expect this to continue each week for a long time with 500 planes on order. Anybody could have picked 777 FO since it went to the bottom.

Usually classes are EWR, LAX , SFO mostly 737 and slightly less Airbus, with a few less 756. Sometimes ORD, IAH and DEN make an appearance but I wouldn’t suspect to see that till after next vacancy.
