I'm not sure about ADS-B. I'm an AB guy but I have a good friend who flies the S80 out of DFW. He seems to think they'll be around longer than anticipated.

cool cool thank you

DFW A320 junior guy is 7 months. He flew another equipment, on the line, for about 4 months.

LGA/ORD 767 is 5 months. Two months on the line.

ORD S80 is 2 months.

Tremendous amount of base movement (49 newhires -12%, switched bases in October) at the junior end if guys wanted it (ORD/DFW/LGA/MIA in 6-10 months).

Like Cheddar said - if you want it bid it because there is movement.

Correct..I was told who knows in indoc and bid for the Bus to DFW and was able to hold it in 4 months. Movement and churn is happening.

No word as of now. MIA is the next AB growth base.

As of 1OCT. I believe that would be early 2014 hires (Jan-Feb).

LAX 320 = 9776

LAX S80 = 9779

Ran it by my buddy flying S80s out in Dallas...they are modified with GPS. The public plan (still) is to start mothballing them in 17. Since I doubt they'll retire all of them at the same time, they are probably ensuring a few remain viable for a few years beyond that.
