I'm expecting about 50 to 60 new hires on the bus in DTW, as senior guys go back to the 757 etc. It's all a guess as guys would say on the board here. But given the tools we have so far, they're expecting 250 guys on DTW 320 FO by December, with a lot of movement between now and then.
Hope it helps your decision,

I'm about the same seniority as you two. I bit the bullet and bid ATL mad dog. I'll be ****ed if I'm sitting reserve in ATL when I could have held a line on the 320 in DTW. ATL's a much easier commute for me though. I definitely feel the same reserve pains as you guys. Sitting reserve as a commuter makes this a really tough job. It's worse for us because it's been years already with potentially years ahead still.
