Although it would be nice to see some tax equalization samples so you can see how much of that 72K extra you can keep.

Do you think they'll fill all the seats or need to hire into them?

Do we have a pool still?

If we were "smart" enough to vote this in I'm sure we'll have plenty of folks "smart" enough to bid those left seats. Right seats, maybe not that "smart". Might have to recruit some really "smart" newhires for that.

I sure hope they will know who to thank when they get their ALPA spiel during indoc.

Guess:

HKG CA = Filled by very junior wide body FO's from ANC and SFS (as junior as guys with 2 years seniority)

HKG FO = Filled by a couple of SFS FOs who have vested interests in Asia other than airplanes (own real estate, own businesses, too many Asian kids to feed, etc) and the rest filled by new hires with SJS (Shiny Jet Syndrome)

CDG CA and FO = no educated guess on that one.

My MEC speaks for me, and it's saying I am a complete puss y who will gladly make any sacrifice to help Fred bank an extra nickel.

HKG Capt's = SFS Capts and SFS F/O's

HKG F/O's = SFS F/O's and 72 S/O's, no new hires needed

CDG Capt's = 1/3 wide body capts, the rest airbus guys, maybe a couple
72 Capt's

CDG F/O's = boeing F/O's and S/O's

My bet is no new hires required to fill these spots. . . If 68% voted for. . there are plenty of people thinking about bidding it. . .

Then again . . I could be wrong

Yes, you have a pool...I've been wearing the floaties since the end of February of this year, and I'm sure that there are others that have been waiting longer than I have...

The "educated" guess that I've heard from my fellow poolies is that there are between 25-50 of us...but that is still a guess...

A Losing $ proposition?
 

I think CDG Capt, filling up with WB 300 cap's (are you thinking current SIBA guys?) is really a stretch.

Have you looked at the $ a WB SIBA CAP would give up just to keep flying the stuff he's doing SIBA? HELL of a pay cut! (Domestic is even more of a strech.) I don't think that's going to happen, even if he's a SIBA bus guy. Maybe the senior current SIBA f/o's, but not the capts. Most of the current SIBA guys are bidding for QOL. Min departures, max pay. Shave the deadhead days down, etc.

What will be just as interesting is if they decide to "merge" the current problematic excess with the next MOAB. Either way, the next few weeks should be interesting.

Hey Subic guys/gals, whats the word on the streets? How many current SFS's folks plan on moving to HKG? Bet alot of those folks move back to the states with this "spectacular" LOA. Have fun on that 5 hr ground transpo to the hub, just in time for that 15 hr flight to Paris.

The majority of us are NOT going to HKG. By the way the longest flight we do is from ICN to SFS, just a little under 4 hrs.

Now that is funny!
