Shocking as it may sound but Alaska is in regular contact with Boeing and what Boeing is telling Alaska is the timeline I was sharing.
A lot of Airbus FO’s do significantly better on the Boeing, Captain’s on the Airbus is a different story.

Geez Louise..... whine when you don’t have some intel. Whine when ya do and ridicule the messenger. MEA doesn’t post to say “look at me I’m all knowing”. Just, “here’s what I know of the plan... for now.... hopefully it helps”.
Take it with a grain of salt. Ignore it. Bank on it.... whatever.... but for the love..... quit throwing darts at the messenger.

Guys in 73' miss "their" West coast flying and the Airbus people miss "their" transcons. I guess we'll see when the results are posted...
