Council 16 said they purely asked for a 4 way split if the out of base European departures, which seems fair. Not to come to your bases and take your international departures.

keep in mind the same month they sent that email out we lost every GUA/SAL/SJO departure to NYC/ATL (our in base flying) for the entire month while we had to pick up the ATL-Florida shuttles to make up for the lost block hours.

For some reason this really rattled ATL crews online that someone other than ATL wanted to do their own flying and/or equitable share of international departures that are non-based. But hey let’s wait and see how much PPT are in their bid packets next month or HND in March. I’m glad C16 spoke up about it and nothing they said seemed unfair or out of reach. If any of you were in same scenario with your bid packets I’m sure you’d wish your local councils did the exact same…
