Not sure...but I know a 365 does. 😁. Or....this year....a 366.

I hope everyone understands that the planned Jan AE is still a cleanup bid from the big bid last year. I don’t think it will be near as big as the Nov bid but weighted to widebody positions.

Correct.


Per one of the previous updates the big 88 displacement bid will not be until May-ish. I don't know what other displacements they'd need to accomplish before then.

Is there a place we can see current fleet numbers and planned deliveries?

I compounded my Leap Years.

Prediction: (Having no basis in anything other than to make a "prediction" that has greater than zero chance of turning out correct)

The Jan AE will take place in Feb.

You read it here first...

Are you sure? There are a large number of WB positions that are to be awarded. According to some of the crew resources and BS updates upwards of just 70 330 A positions. Plus more 350 As to be awarded. Not sure that qualifies as a clean up bid.

You are correct. According to every company publication I’ve read the next AE will hold a significant amount of widebody A positions. Which will cause a lot of other positions to be vacated. Which will result in a rather large AE.

But sailingfun is probably just finishing his pumpkin pie to take over to Ed’s house for thanksgiving. So make sure to let us know what Ed says tonight sailing.

But this wouldn't be the first time Bob said one thing and something totally different happens...nothing would surprise me. I don't blame Bob, I believe he truly tries to pass good information. I just think he's just hanging on to the end of the marketing whip.

Sailing is not far off. The last bid filled the training pipeline through the end of the conversion window. Many of the fleets were limited in posted vacancies because of training capacity. With it being only two months removed from the last bid, it seems logical that the bid would include only a couple months of training capacity. If the Jan AE is a 365, it will be larger, because they can fill a longer training pipeline. There will be some variances by fleet.

YMMV, DYODD, Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear, etc...
