I think you are correct we had a commuter on the jump seat that was going to training and he stated that the company is now paying for hotels for commuters.

WD at AWA

Lol. Let's not even go there, this pilot group is fractured enough as it is.

I don't see why 3rd listers can't bid PHX. There is absolutely no dispute in their seniority. Why can't they bid there?

For the majority of the third listers I would completely agree. Unfortunately there are some real nut jobs on the east and some third listers themselves that think they should go above junior west pilots. They are a minority thankfully, but still cause problems for everyone.

I'll be sure to bring a smile and positive attitude wherever I end up.

There is a new hire class starting tomorrow (2/10) and they have been told that there is a chance of PHX openings. We will know shortly.

In '07-08 third listers were being placed either east or west. Once there, you were stuck and could not bid to the other side. My guess is this practice will continue until we are all one big happy family.
