As stated, it will be their 365 day conversion option, and network wants all DC9's parked by end of January 2014. All DC9 drivers will be converted by then. Looks like there is a MD in my future that I wasn't planning on evaluating...
This means I was wrong again. With the 9's going on this AE, the addition of 100 B-717 crews don't really make up for it. Add (really subtract) on to that that they are trying to figure out what to do with the 767 FO positions, looks like this is going to be a net negative AE. 20 B-737 crews in DTW helps a little to bring it to neutral, but just a little.
Where is Bill Lumberg?
