The company should have started displacing out of DTW years ago. Now they DH crews to NY.
My point is why didn't they displace SEA7ERB on the previous AE when they had all the SEA330B openings? Maybe they wouldn't be surprised by people not bidding they way they wanted... You can't tell me they didn't know they'd be displacing these ER spots when they ran the last AE...if they didn't, then I'm even more concerned in how they're running this show.
People on the SEA7ER too senior for a mandatory would have gladly voluntarily displaced, yet the couldn't VD, due to reasons that tunes is referring to. I just don't see the logic in running it this way.
WRT to DTW, I do look at the bid packets since it's my category. The increased number of DHs are a fairly recent thing. So they were so clueless to the shifting flying, that they let it get overstaffed by dang near 50%?
