they didn’t say any numbers but DM has consistently said they want around 200 FOs in sfo so my guess is 25-30 reductions amongst the other bases. Some junior folks could be saved by maybe more senior people bidding to sfo but I don’t know how many people will sport bid sfo with this being the last bid till Q2 or 3 of next year

I think they are gambling on a slower summer 25 cause I agree we seem right sized. My other tinfoil hat guess they will jack up ALVs in the summer increase the # of reserve FOs

I think they're getting hammered less the last couple months. The real isssue with Seattle is they have (or had) the worst reserve staffing in the system with exponentially more flying than any other base. I think the company is quite happy with the amount of flying reserves in SEA are doing and would love that kind of utilization in all bases. It'll never happen with the flying load in other bases without significantly increaseing the chances of cancellations. That's my WAG anyways.

2025 is not looking to be the slowdown that was initially anticipated in terms of flying.

With the way 2025 is looking for flying, I actually think we see hiring and at least one more position bid with growth. I doubt we see a single upgrade in 2025 unless things drastically change.

We are missing a major opportunity by not having any new aircraft to fly for the majority of 2025 that is for sure. Since there is so much demand for flying. We can't grow unless we can get aircraft. Right now we are getting zero aircraft per month. When the strike is over it wont be right back to 38 MAX a month produced over at Boeing. It will slowly ramp up.
