I was kind of hoping for a little more info in the Oct CR memo than “thank you”. It seems like they’ve used their 365 day bid for the year already, so the next AE likely won’t include the massive -88 displacements that are coming since they’ll need those bodies for the summer? So are they going to post a big AE and then have to displace a lot of those awards a few months later when the -88 landslides in ATL?

They need to start filling up the sims soon (especially on the widebody fleets) but the 365 is already burned.
To say that they're behind the power curve is an understatement. And while they're shoving the throttles forward (increased hiring), network certainly isn't lowering the nose (slowed growth). Next summer will be interesting. The only thing that can bring this to a screeching halt is how Delta handles the new 'Airbus Tariffs'
