Bidding the 717 might be a pretty good deal for those who want the summer off!
edit- and look at how much lower feb 2013 international flying is than feb 2012... yikes! That's not capacity restraint, that's complete shrinkage.
They also posted the fate of the 767ATL category. The news was very good. They plan on moving most of not all the flying to the 7ER category. There were lots of rumors on here of mass parkings of 757's this year and that the time on the 767ATL category would simply go away with the category closing. They also said there may be more then the planned 120 new CA's positions posted. Overall the only changes in this memo from the last few months were good ones. We keep the 767 time and may get additional 737 CA's positions. There are going to be a lot of new first time Captains on this bid.
