What are the staffing bid rumors? I haven't been flying much and I hear that ATL and IAD will no longer be reserve bases (I know about for the Flight Attendants) but I hear for pilots also and that it will be out in March sometime. I hope there's one, I'm putting in for upgrade.
Many airlines have reserves who only fly 5 hours a month(Skywest, Pinnacle, Jetblue, Delta etc.) Solid efficiency can be a cause for this.
Haven't heard anything regarding a staffing bid but who knows. I would be surprised to see anything prior to June. I also wouldn't be surprised if you saw upgrade minimums increased depending on how hiring and staffing goes.
