Any published timeline for that? Thx Huey.

I think it's gonna take over a year, mainly due to DECS and PBS limitations. Not all FAs are trained on their equipment in their base.

I've heard sometime later this year. Main issue is the LAA flight attendants have issues with the PBS system and refuse to use it until the company resolves the problems.

Crew news DFW: 75/6 flying to east coast bases (JFK/PHL/MIA). Any new 330 Base gossip? Will they stay in PHL/CLT or move? New 78 deliveries seem to be taking over 777 routes, will the triple also be moving to other bases? A350?

Like they have some kind of choice.

-I guess they could just not bid and let PBS do what it wants.

The 75/76 fleet is common to both LAA and LUS, so that move is one they can do right now.

As for the rest, it's up in the air and anyone's guess where airplanes will move. Rumors I've heard for the past couple years are:

- MIA 330 base
- PHX and CLT 737 base
- LAX and DFW 320 base expansion (confirmed when they announced PHX downsizing)

Well, the facts are they aren't on the same bidding systems yet and until that happens they will not mix metal or crews.

Thx again Huey. Your rumors match mine.
