American interviews and class dates

I think they just need a GPS to be nextgen compliant for the first stage if theyre going to stay domestic? If theyre anything like DAL's mad dogs, they are not GPS equipped, which is what they'll need initially. Im told the GPS and Pegasus FMC upgrade runs around $200K per airplane, so it would make sense to do that and keep them flying for 10 more years.

Thanks, you're correct. For some reason the 3XP's didn't show the Oct inbounds.
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.

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.
