Looks like the Transfer Portal has spread to the major airline pilot ranks.

4x B787 EWR

T333

just had a thought, maybe the Majors need to institute a draft. You know, like pro sports :P

How quickly are the 77, 78, 756 getting selected in the new classes?

PK387

It varies wildly from class to class. Sometimes they go very senior, and sometimes they're all that's left for the folks on the bottom.

Less options this week over previous weeks…. Do those with longer term knowledge consider it a trend or blip? Scheduled to start class in June and looking for a pattern if there is one.

Thanks

It's hard to say. Looking at the vacancy snapshot (the final award should post sometime this evening, I'd guess), there are a lot of (>20) unfilled FO vacancies on:

In descending order:

-IAH 737
-EWR 737
-SFO 756
-SFO 320
-EWR 320

Note that the IAH 737 has about as many unfilled vacancies as the rest of the above combined, and the two 737 domiciles make up roughly 70% of the total vacancies.

The next group of unfilled vacancies (>10<20), in descending order:

-IAH 320
-DEN 320
-EWR 756

Going forward, I'd expect the majority of future vacancies to be in the top grouping, and predominantly 737 IAH. It's probable there will be a smattering of the rest listed in the top grouping on most bids, and perhaps occasionally a stray couple from the bottom grouping. There are less than 10 widebody FO vacancies unfilled at this point, and they're all SFO 787.
