Junior 777A April 1990

Bidding strategy company wide has changed. Greenslips must be drying up as folks grabbed NB CA positions as if it was going outta style. ATL777B went junior to ATL717A

Those who waited are set up VERY nicely for the next 365 which will include 9 330NEO and several 321NEO Deliveries

I was very close to the Jr CA. People learned from the 2017 MOAB, they won’t let pass an opportunity.

I think all the old FOs have finally got sick of seeing all these younger captains and have decided to upgrade! (Or they just have enough pilots below them to make it palatable now)

Fake news. The Aug 2019 CAT list has ATL 320A below 9200, a far cry from a 1991 hire. How many openings were listed on this bid for ATL 320 A?

Just because there are no openings on a particular Bid do not mean the category is going super senior. I agree the 320 is going pretty senior, probably because the 737 is a friggin embarrassment. I want to bid off the 737 but could not commit to being “on call” for training for a year.

Yup, overall the group's bidding strategy has changed. Folks were bidding ATL717A over lineholder ATL777B

Looking at category list the 737 is far more senior in Atlanta. Now that the list is normalizing is well, normal.

Must have gotten sick of not working on reserve. They also probably got sick of long overnights, not being rerouted, nice hotels, flying jets with no MELs and never rushing through the terminal to their next jet. Figure they needed to change it up a bit.
