Yes sir!
for those asking…I assume it will be easy to get back to LAX ER on next bid, we’ve had unbid vacancies for about every AE over the last year. Most notably the most on last AE. Something like 60+.
We still have a ton of flying in LAX. Transcon/DTW/ATL on domestic side. 1 HNL (becoming 2 again, that usually then goes to out of base HNL flying SLC/MSP)
latin America is still strong to GUA/SAL/SJO. Sometimes SAL decreases but GUA/SJO can’t be flown by our other airplanes yet they’ve said.
Tahiti resumes out of LAX in Oct to late May again. They told us base will grow/take over the SEA stuff when they close the base, most notably the charter flying. LAX ER they said will likely remain same size or grow a little until late 2025’s. That’s when charter contract is up with NBA. Whether it’s renewed or not is unknown. So feel comfortable to head out west. Our trips are pretty good, lot of us senior people swap and drop. So even junior guys get good trips.
we’ve also seen a massive uptick in Europe trips through JFK built as 5 days. That’s all I’ve been doing last 2 months.
