Might be wrong but I think our gate space is based on people, not equip through SEA.

I thought so as well, but that I thought that recent email said that policy was changing.

That would make sense, if SEA wants to retain frequency. Nobodies loads will be at 2019 levels for a while.

Hey, for all we know this is highly seasonal. It may just piddle out in a couple months altogether, lots of people won’t bother to get vaccinated, then it comes back with a vengeance next fall.

Could be that all the hoops the Aussies have been jumping through in an effort to keep numbers down didn’t really matter because it’s summertime down under and it’s a Fall and early winter bug.

When you only have a one year track record on this particular bug, there is still a lot you don’t know about it.

Only time will tell.

It’s based on total seats supplied in SEA Q2-Q3, 2021.

It may suck for all the EIL people getting called back early but the Port of Seattle is the closest thing the pilots have to Scope protection. Too bad our other hubs didn't have similarly clueless administrators; if they did we'd probably be hiring again.

Forgive my ignorance but does this gate allocation at the POS occur every year? Or is it something that happens less frequently?

Traditionally, number of seats flown in the month of August, is used for gate allocation in SEA.

This is a recall of 208 pilot for the March 6th date. There are people that were recalled on January 31 that haven't received a training date yet. It will be interesting to see how the training goes to get the 208 pilots retrained and back on the line. My assumption is that after this recall, it might be to the next bid until the next round of EIL recalls. Thoughts?

Just finished a three day trip, all legs were flown on aircraft with 178 seats

Loads:

Leg 1: 55
Leg 2: 112
Leg 3: 43
Leg 4: 15
Leg 5: 40
Leg 6: 33

flown two flights in the last month with over 100, good thing we are bringing all these people back off their EILs. 🙄
