This is most definitely a large positive bid. There are so many good options to consider that it is difficult to bid. I find myself bidding for several seats with qualifiers on each. We have 230 seats open at the highest pay rate in our contract, that is double the 115 displacements off the 744A. There are over 100 more WB Captains with the 7ER, 765 and 330 in the mix. With 30 NYC 7ER A vacancies, we may see a 7ER Captain who was part of the unimaginable 7ER new hire boom in 2007. This bid has tons of upward movement with a few isolated pockets of possible displacements.

Agreed with you guys... very minimal cascade will come with largely positive movement.

I knew what you meant but my wife says I can't help always making a smart a$$ comment. At least you don't have to be married to me.

FWIW, I don't hear any of the senior 320 F/Os (or CAs) saying they would go the the 737. Probably will net some from the Bad Dog and possibly the ER. Movement on the Bus might be some senior guys throwing in for the 350/330.

Anyone else hear rumors of 350 buys being deferred 3 years? Could be sweet to get it, train, then be paid to stay home.....

There is no need to fill a card. (order all of your positions desired) Some past AEs have resulted in unintended awards because they thought they had to have something in. That's not true. You can have as many or as few (0) preferences as you like.

my standing bid used to begin...MD-11A. A bid like this one is most likely to produce some 2x standard deviation awards.

Anyone have thoughts on where the displaced 744 copilots end up. Right seat 350?

While Delta will take five A350-900s this year as planned, it wants to postpone deliveries slated for 2019 and 2020 by three years, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified since the talks are private.

I love fishing! As the perpetual plug commuting to reserve there is no fishing, unless you count the ATL crash pad fishing.
