acl65pilot - That's the most definite number I've heard yet, even asking around the crew rooms and what not. 40 is a lot of seats that I could be sitting in. Thanks.

Sailor - That is encouraging. However December is nearly high season down there, and we take vacations whenever we can all align our schedules up together unfortunately. This is why I'm doing my due diligence now, so I have a plan, and a backup plan, and a backup to the backup plan. Oh, and being DAL I don't have Jetnet and the AA nonrev phone people, while nice, will not give loads out. "It looks fair" is a standard answer I hear with no willing to give anymore details.

astrojet - That's what I hear too. A330 ATL base here it comes. That does not help me, however, in my venture down there in December. I look forward to that day in my return down that direction. I have the feeling that future AEs will be very interesting. And the whole GUM base and everything...

Thanks for all your input, guys. If anyone has anymore details I'm all ears!
