If i had to guess the amount of 73 flying is eating into the airbus block hours. I wouldn’t be shocked to see a clt 737 base soon.

LUS retirements? Makes perfect sense. CLT seems to be “right sizing” and other bases must be seeing a lot of CLT AB flying this summer.

the vacancy showed CLT 320 FO numbers at 554 for June 19 and 554 for Aug19. There were 567 on the Jan PBS award report, so maybe some. 35 seems like a high number to not backfill some, unless there are some out on some sort of leave, but even so they have to account for that on a monthly basis. The even more puzzling part is not filling any CLT 320 CA slots, the rsv CA i fly with say they fly all the time and OG is readily available. There was 17 CLT/320/CA that bid elsewhere by my count.

If you look at actual 737 departures it’s not that many as it seems. AA keeps saying no to PHX 737 which of all them seems it would make the most sense?
