I wish AA would do something real crazy like open a domicile/hub in BOI or COS or RNO. Outdoor lovers can dare to dream, alas we still only care about the sunbelt cities that will dry up in the next 10-15 years.
well they just announced some more services to SMX, SUN, MSO and SAF.

Idk about that, there's pretty good demand in NYC and LAX and yet we can't seem to shift our focus to compete there 😏

Unfortunately, look at the equipment it's on. I appreciate that we are trying to branch out, but we seem to only announce new routes and want to compete with regional aircraft.

Wait.. is that why AA has quarterly vacancy bids? Because we're flexible? Is that why Day 1 pilots get base bids over pilots already online?

Or we could, you know, get the company to run monthly vacancy bids, get rid of MBE whilst accomplishing the same thing, and be more flexible as an airline? You know, things that most Major and Regional airlines have?

That seems too logical.

Most majors and regionals have monthly bids?

Delta does…who else?

Add SkyWest to the list. They have monthly vacancy bids (probably because they have 20 pilot bases). They also updated the seniority list daily—Idk why they update the SL once a year here.

I've wondered that too, why only once a year?

The company’s backbone is a mainframe system designed in the 60s.

AA used to have monthly bids but the new JCBA got rid of it, guessing the company was pushing for it because of the large training churn involved coupled with all the retirements coming down the pike.

Not seeing how monthly bidding would create training churn when coupled with seat locks/withholding.
