I think the delay in the closing of this last bid, should have been 2 months rather than 2 days. That way, everyone would know what the new flt/duty regs would mean to their commuting and general schedule related lifestyle.

Great idea Busboy except ... it might make the FDA even harder to staff. I suspect we are too close to peak to invoke 4.a.2.b in order to force folks to bid to the FDA (like last time ). It will be interesting to see how they man the f/o seat this time? Can you say new hires (maybe with prior 757 time)?

I suspect they will do it just like they did for the 300 FO seat in HKG.
There will be some very sweet MEM FO 757 Trips with DDH's to Europe
for the foreseeable future. Many MEM 757FO's are going to be very very happy.

I pretty much agree with that.

-No excesses
-No 4A2B
+Empty widebody FO slots for the foreseeable future
_____________
=757 MEM trips that do Europe.

Good thing everyone is AS/SA/EU now...
