Sorry for a dumb question, but how do we get on Flica to see that? Is that an add-on service outside of Delta?

Sorry, FLICA is an iCrew equivalent scheduling software that is used at many airlines. I was only pointing out that the technology exists to see what you'd get before a bid closes. Unfortunately we don't have a tool like that.

I will say, after watching how these things play out after 20 plus years, the the “pilots holds a preference 1st choice” is a very good indicator of how close you are to holding it. Many people do have qualifiers in, but it seems to average out with those those that have it less than 1st choice with no qualifier.

Just finished CQ yesterday and ventured into the C Sim. Nice airplane. The video game generation should do well in it.

And before some of you get your panties all wound up, it is a joke...

Well how did the non video game generation do in the 350? I went to see that sim and it was broken. The captain there for training said this was his first training in 20 years (coming off the maddog) and guys on the line weren’t pushing in time because they couldn’t figure out how to get everything loaded.

If you show up for A350 school with your flip-phone, you probably wont do very well in training. Just saying.

I heard those same words from a C series SLI. I’m hoping to prepare using the Pong console I got at a PTC yard sale!

FWIW first CS100 is Oct 31. Then 4 on property by dec 31. About 14 on property by summer 2019.

Of course its taken Bombardier's Montreal plant 7 months to put out 14 total to all airlines. For reference we were supposed to have 15 by the end of year and 27 by summer 2019. Maybe Airbus can fix the deliveries.
