Calendar year. So, they could run one every 11 months thus effectively extend the seat locks for a lot of people especially since they run AEs so infrequently.

Yeah so they could delay it till early January and get another 365 out of us. Though that might hurt them for the summer and take away that “tool” for them to use later in 2020.

Agreed. I think we may have already shot ourselves in the foot.

They can always ask for relief. I don’t think this particular problem is something we’d take a hard line “no” on.

Interesting. Maybe we give some side letter relief in exchange for 5:15 training days and 7xIQ golden days.

Sorry, unrelated, but your username finally popped up. Recently flew into ANC, where the VOR's identifier is "TED" ... and the inbound course for the ILS was 74.

The latest 717 newsletter talked about a Dec/Jan AE for a Minny base. Seems unlikely they would have a Nov/Dec AE and a Dec/Jan AE.

No matter what this AE brings, I think they’ve already lost control of next summer from the hiring numbers i keep hearing...

I think alot of people are going to be surprised next summer when there aren't nearly as many Greenslips and the pace is significantly reduced.

Reasons:

1. No unexpected 3% increase in flying above planned

2. More balanced staffing in regards to fleets/bases

3. No JFK runway construction allowing much more efficient use of airspace

4. The thunderstorms will probably not be as bad

5. The fleets that struggled the most with staffing this summer have a high amount of training capacity (73N/320)

How do you know what the weather is going to be like next summer?
