Just taking a look at the JFK-EDI times.. get in at 730am and leave at 1125am next day? Need to know who is shocked that 27 hours in EDI is short

Can they do that? Aren't they locked in?

EDIT: I mean stuck withheld

Correct. I'm curious to see how much trouble they are going to have getting back out.

Correct. I'm curious to see how much trouble they are going to have getting back out after they get the qual.

Why would they have trouble getting out? They can bid LGA/D or any other base on any vacancy. They aren’t seat locked into the 320LGA/I bid status. Pilots will bid in to get the AE qual, then bid back to another base and MO pickup a few Europe trips here and there.

That’s true with every category, you think with 800 retirements a year there won’t be ANY 320 vacancies!? They can also MBE out, you don’t need the AE qual to MBE into the bid status.
