Still enjoying a gentleman’s schedule flying domestic NB out of here... hoping that stays the same! I feel for my NB bros in other bases that are getting hammered.
I know DCA was the 73 winner this bid, and it of course changes every bid. Overall, using my tired commuting brain, I see 140 737 captain awards for June, and 231 A320 captain awards. I don't have it anymore, but the last one also had more bus than 73.
I would think the next two years will be pretty lean for the 73, since the majority of new aircraft deliveries will be Airbus.
I'm in Miami for a couple more months, then back to NYC. My relative seniority took a dive when we combined the divisions, and I'm still not back to where I was in the international division when I first got here.
I should get an entitlement to airbus ca on this bid, that I can exercise the next bid. But I'm fully expecting a 12 month withhold, since thats what everyone I know who has bid from the 73 to the bus recently has gotten.
