20 more -800 A/B positions in LAX
20 more -800 A/B positions in SLC
20 more 717 A/B positions in ATL
20 more -800 A/B positions in DTW
Maybe a few 7er reductions, but hopefully not too many (none).
Apparently some 88 openings as well. Maybe 717A will start going more junior with no more summer to have off?
The poop is hitting the fan a bit harder with the 717 delays it seems. No rotations will be published for it in October, and it sounds like they are scrambling to figure out what to do. Even though delta.com still shows the 717 starting on the 19th, when you go and look at the seats available on travel net, it shows 12/138 capacity, which is the A320. Cross checking with iCrew, they have all been converted to 320 rotations. There are only 6 rotations available for the 717, day trips starting on the 26th and one 2 day. Nothing after the 29th.
It'll be interesting to see what they have to say when they finally speak about what's going on. I just got a text that the bid packs are delayed another 24 hours.
As far as 7ER displacements, we'll see what the last minute Ouiji board tells them tomorrow morning. Or do they take number magnets and throw them up against the wall and see what sticks right before putting it out?
