I’m pretty sure you can build productive commutable trips. It’s all about marketing. If a plane sits somewhere for a lengthy period then that’s not productive for either the plane or the crews. Our guys use to tell marketing that certain flight times wouldn’t work because it wasn’t productive. Saying you can’t build commutable lines is just an excuse. They want you living in base so you don’t use the commuter clause trying to get to work. There’s the real truth.

I hear ya, but the mock bid for June showed less than 10 open flying lines. How would there be more in Sept with a reduction in the number of lines?
Was the mock bid inaccurate as to open flying lines? How many lines did SEA have for June and how many open lines were assigned?
Even 70 is more than a little fat. The Captain side in SFO has been doing it with high 20s to mid 30s for a while.
Im sure the daily reserve buffer will STILL be red on a daily basis.😜

Any info on the makeup of those classes? New Hire classes?

Arrogance is why AS is always in a state of perpetual surprise and reaction. Expect this projection to be blown out of the water.

LAX based here, all I've seen are nice people on both sides and all of us realize that we have no control in this. We chat with VX guys in the crew room and on the buses to layovers, and they chat with us. I'm assuming this toxic environment is really just on APC from some internet tough guys.

This! ^^^^^^
I've met some super cool AS folks in the flesh.....
