Only if we haven't been kicked out of CAN by then because of all the Taxi violations.

Here's a solution--cancel all pending training and remove those FOs already in training who are still current in the MD, bring them back to Anchorage, rebid the system after the new year break, then see what to do.

Why not just push the training letters out 3 months or so, get through peak, and then take a look, rebid assuming Flag Ops, retirements, more 777 and 757 guys, and the Hong Kong MD-11 base? Did I just say that out loud? Yeah yeah, I have a friend who knows this guy, etc. Except the guy who told my guy was JL and it was later mentioned again by another LCA who said the same thing.

Not that they are not going to attempt that, but this is different than canceling a vacancy posting, the pilots who have been excessed no longer hold that seat. The only way I see for the Company to bring more pilots back to the ANC seats is through a vacancy bid and then it is up to the seniority system to determine who holds the seat. When they canceled CDG, those pilots all had the rights to their old seats because they still could actually hold them.

I think what you are saying is the same thing, but just a stop gap measure?

the company did put a RFO on one of those pairings--saw it in Open Time while I was attempting schedule enhancement (recently).

I bet it would only take them 37 bids/20 failed bids and eighteen months of furlough threats to get the right seat filled this time. Wheeeeee!!!!

MD-11's is the word I got. Of course we still might be getting 747's and Paris is going to open anytime now.

Yeah they did adjust the Dec pairing - it was an earlier pairing that got revised. Seems they often add the RFO to the flight a week or so after the original CA/FO pairing is built. That was the case on this one although like I said it was a revision - not a single pairing to handle it. The other one in November flew w/o an RFO - it is listed as a Charter so maybe that's the difference? SIG is looking into it.
