Maybe advance bookings show a trend. Either up gauge to more 330 domestic or down gauge to more 320s and 737s. International could be way down this summer too with JV changes.

Sure seems like they did a lot of tweaking of which positions they filled in order to get the result they wanted this time.

Well believe it, people bid it without qualifiers and didn't get it. No one.

JFK-GRU went from 767-400 to ER last spring, then back to the -400 in January, ER in March, then to the 330 in September 2017. Three aircraft types, four changes. Up and down gauging happens constantly these days.

If you notice, he said September 2017....as in this coming September. Was there an equipment change announced?

I missed the 2017 part. Travelnet does show it as a 330 in Sep.

Try reading my post again except this time with better reading comprehension. I said exactly what you are saying. People bid for it, the company just chose not to award any slots.

I have a feeling the lack of backfill on the MSP7ERB will be one of the questions in the next Crew Resources newsletters. It will be interesting to see their answer.
