We all know there were a large amount of MSP M88B slots left unfilled as well.
Is there even a remote chance this list is somewhat accurate?? Is it possible newhires will be going straight to the A320, M88, and maybe even the 73N?
Well remember that the AE had 661 vacancies and and 355 displacements, leaving 306 openings that would be unfilled. The new hires and the recalls have to go somewhere. The DC9 is now a small fleet - I imagine those guys would hold on until bumped, then they would displace into whatever they could hold (actually not a bad deal).
When I was hired only two years ago, we had people in my class go to the M88, 73N, and 7ER. All bases except ATL also.
