321 - 30
739 - 18 (tied to 757 retirement plan and subject to change)
333 - 10
Pilot requirement is 14 per NB and 20 for 330.
He does not work in Crew Resource but has heard they plan on attrition of appx 1000 pilots in the same time frame. FWIW.
I'm pondering quality of life living in Atlanta. Anyone know how much 717 growth is planned and left yet for Atlanta? Based on quality of life factors of only 1)schedule control 2)ability to hold a line, and 3) seniority bidding reserve, I rank the aircraft as follows: 1) MD88 2) 717 3) 320 4) 737. Any opinions on this? Any current plug info? Just trying to make an educated choice.
