still 20% chance they cancel this thing if they don’t like how it turns out for them.
sounds like straight from the Mesa playbook. Wait, that’s a regional airline. |

Anyone who was paying attention to how much flying was being done out of Seattle should have seen this coming.
The good news is that the remaining airbus pilots should see better trips and might not have to fly into Seattle as much. |

Crazy idea, why not just start using the 737's in Seattle again and use the bus elsewhere? Bam!! just saved the company millions! I only charge 1% for the saving to the company.

With the reduction in LAX bus flying, would you guess that new hires will stop being awarded the domicile immediately? Would all Airbus classes get sent to SFO until they open the SEA bus bid, or is there still a need to staff the FO side until the eventual closure in 2021?

It's hard to say how this will shake out because you can't predict pilot bidding behavior unless you can see their standing bids once the bidding starts. SFO Bus has usually been available for newhires so if you want that it should be a possibility. A gut feeling says don't count on LAX 320 because as displacements are processed, guys are gonna leave LAX Airbus as #1 so they are processed as forced displacements. Don't know how senior the SEA 320 CA and FO seats will go. Even if current SEA Boeing guys bid over to the Airbus for better seniority, those vacated 737 spots have to be filled too. If I had to guess, I think this time around you'll see newhires get SEA (something that hasn't happened recently in the last several bids).

Thanks for the insight, once again. I know they’re running two classes in March. (1 x Boeing and 1 x Bus). I’m operating under the assumption that the Bus class will be primarily (if not entirely) SFO. Guess we’ll see in a few weeks. It’s amazing how quickly things change in this industry...
