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.

are there seat locks? If so how long?

Where have you learned who is in your Indoc class? I have Indoc coming up as well. Thanks in advance!

There’s a half winger / new hire page on Facebook where people share info. Usually there’s a message for each class with a WhatsApp group invite

I checked that out today, thanks. This may just be my paranoia from years at the airlines, but any company backlash or negative side of being on that group?

just don’t post anything you would not be comfortable to say to folks on the job in person.

depends. What is your definition of better? The 787 goes to Tahiti. The 777 goes to lhr and Fra. And it changes constantly. 3 months ago the 787 was doing Syd. Then the 777 started it. Now it’s a 777 from sfo and 787 from lax. If you pick a plane based on where it goes today you maybe very disappointed by the time you get to the line.
