Some one drank the koolaid. They also announced a june AE for the MD88 displacement mix up. Never happened.
They won't issue another AE this fall. More than likely they not have any more AE's this year. They will have a MOAB in January to do a 365 Bid. Send most of the pilots to training from Feb- May and then after summer.

You’re on. I want to point out that the last two times I placed a bet with someone on here they never paid as far a I know. I will pay if I lose, I hope you will also. The bet is there will be another AE prior to 1 Jan 2020. If I win send the money to the Delta pilot emergency fund.

And unpredictable. Unfortunately, in order to change aircraft you'll remove any and all certainty about being able to attend any or all important functions/anniversaries/weddings/graduations/etc. in the 7-12 months following the unpredictable AE. And you may just watch someone 3,000 numbers your junior pull down a sweet IQ schedule with most weekends off while you work all of them. For significantly less than 5:15/day. On Virginia Ave. In the summer [or the winter...you're not actually sure until you're scheduled].
The one thing you CAN control is just when you put in the 40-60 hours of self study at home to upgrade (for less than 2 days' pay).
Hopefully we will some day see more training schedule control, vacation preservation, better compensation and opportunities to use one's seniority to actually bid on IQ training patterns a la CQ. I'm perplexed why we've allowed the company to control so much of our lives when changing aircraft.
Does anyone know if this is industry standard? It sure doesn't feel like an industry-leading system to me. Only a select few can count on keeping their vacation plans intact, even if...I don't know... the president were to call?

Today's AE states end of 2019 or 2020.
Almost every AE that has been projected by CR has been pushed back a month or 2.
Me thinks the company will use the next bid as a hook for a TA. Leak rumors of big numbers but only if we agree on a TA quickly.
