I’ll be shocked if the great Mad Dog purge of 2020 doesn’t occur on a 365 day bid.

Rocks....glass houses?

I'm standing by for ANY optimistic/positive post from the 2 year capt at the leading edge of the 5000 pilots Delta has hired:eek:

Same thing, only different:D

Shoulda been 1 year & 6k pilots tho..😤:mad:

Well he did say once he had to scrape by on 250,000 his second year.

Hearing some rumblings of 320NEO getting pushed even further and this will result in keeping some ER’s and 88’s longer than planned.

You are correct that they will use a 365 day bid when they displace. Allows them to spread the displacements out and keep a displaced guy from one bid getting displaced by another pilot on the next bid.

Heard the same thing other than they will use a 365 day bid when they need to close the 88 category which is a moving target.

Yep! And as observed, the NEO slow pace of deliveries will surely kick that can further down the road.

From my understanding, the company can displace on a non-365 conversion AE, but if they want to use a 365 conversion window, it must contain displacements.

IMHO, a Jan 365 AE with displacements wouldn’t make sense....they would essentially lose the the ability to displace maddog folks between Feb and end of summer surge, which is when they have said they need them for. I would guess a mid/end summer 365 AE which would allow them the full 365 to displace folks.

Correct. They can displace on any and every AE they put out. In addition to requiring a displacement, a 365 day AE also can only be done once per calendar year.

Yup....22.D.11. In the PWA which is on everyone's iPad Content Locker/AeroDocs
