Some of these things are nearly impossible to predict.
Most junior guy on 767 MIA is 14049. Probably one that got it as a new hire a couple years ago. Many of those people bid off of it to narrowbody for a slightly better life or no commute ect. Like said above it's shrinking so probably won't see any openings for a while.

I held the 75/76 as a New Hire in MIA, but got displaced to JFK.....they go from threatening displacements to posting vacancies....and anything that's correct now won't be in 6 months....luck of the draw really.

Yea 76 is hard to predict. First they're parking a bunch, then they aren't, then they are. Prob only a good deal if you're local bc you will be perma-junior.

Per DFW crew news a few weeks ago:

JFK/PHL/MIA will be the only 75/76 bases in the future.

I thought we were selling our A350's to Delta.

I like the Airbus product. I would've really liked to see a consistent fleet. A319/20/21 and A330/A350. Instead we have all the expense of this hodgepodge of a fleet, pretty ridiculous.

Works for delta. Too bad we don't have their management.

Too bad we don't have their number of group 3 aircraft (while still having our group 4 numbers).
