They published something the other day that said 183 pilots were going to come out of Houston to supply 350 in Austin.
Remember that there are a bunch of newbies hitting the line in March as well. I am presuming there will likely be a large class of upgrades to hit in the March vacancy to correspond with all the those new FO’s.
If all that comes to pass, I not only don’t see anyone getting displaced, I think quite a few guys will find their way back home. (fingers crossed.)
I’m not sure where I saw it but either the company or swapa published the heat map and there are about 300 pilots that live within 100 miles of Austin.
I really don’t think there will be any displacements out of the AUS opening. The great thing is there are a lot of guys that are going to be driving to work, that never thought they would.
