I don’t recall that either. I’m sure if they can’t get enough people to bid off over time they will displace. But over 30 leaving on the AE is a good start. Not sure how fast they are going to draw down and shift that flying to MSP and SEA. My guess is, if they shift the flying quicker than people bid off in DTW, a lot more rotations will start and end with a DH. Not sure they are in a rush to displace.

What exactly is going on with dtw 330 especially on the b side
It was the biggest base and I know they want to put all the new 330 neos in Seattle and msp but why did they want to shrink it by 90 crews? 30 left without back fill this time but they have said they will displace if they don’t get 90
Have the routes changed? I know dtw-gru is done next year but anything else? Seems strange that you would Shrink a base with 35 planes on order.
Maybe more 350 flying will come to dtw eventually swapping from 330?

Just the two ATH and two TLV flights this summer will take all the Captains they currently have in the base to fly. That leaves AMS, CDG, GRU. LOS, LHR(2), MXP, FCO, ZRH, LAX and BCN without crews. Take a look at all the bases and the amount of NYC flying they do. NYC hugely undermanned for the 330.

“330 – We will add 36 NYC CA and 22 NYC F/O positions on this AE. Filling these positions will be contingent on a significant number of DTW crew bidding off of the 330, providing us vacated positions that we will not backfill. If this movement does not occur, we will not fill the NYC positions. We will add 63 SEA CA, and 80 SEA F/Os. We will also add 12 MSP F/Os. These positions will be added to support aircraft deliveries and Network’s projected deployment of new A330-900 aircraft to the Pacific from SEA and MSP. We are projecting a need for 464 Captains and 745 F/Os on the 330 for summer 2020.”

Yeah, imagine the hapless RES pilot who now has to sit 8pm SC to eat this XXXXXXXX. And bonus, you made it home by 8am so you've got another 8pm SC waiting for you!!!
