They say they do not plan on posting openings on the 88 on the next AE and do not need to post openings for Summer 2013 flying.
As to displacements off the 88, they think enough will bid the 717 not to have to post displacements. If more than enough AE off the 88, then they may even do some backfilling if enough bid off.
But right now, the 88 is overstaffed.... at 10 pilots per plane.
This is just another part of the triad on another sales mission. To get 88 guys to bid 717 to save money. That is all. Another sales job. Try to keep up.Originally Posted by forgot to bid
