Sink r8,

For the most part I'm just curious how the operation would work. I just don't see how it would be feasible for pilots. If you are wondering, I'm the last guy who would have any "inside info" on anything. But there have been a couple of posts on different threads that made me think about this so I decided to ask the questions. This one is from the "Latest and Greatest" thread (point 7):

"Rumors during training:

1. Look for the company to approach union to allow a bid to encompass up to two years, ie.. award during advance entitlement will be good for up to two years possibly longer, but plan is to move all the pieces continously over the next five years, so it will be awhile before we see the final results.

2. Dependant on the above, could see up to 1200 positions up for bid right after SOC. followed by another large bid during the summer

3. 15 DC9s coming into Atlanta--this one might not happen

4. A group is in negotiations/familiarizations with a 100seat supplier

5. up to 15 777s to be delivered in next 2 years

6. A fleet of up to 60 MD90s

7. New basing methods(virtual) are being looked at (cost/benefit analysis)

8. New base will be opened"
