Think of this also, 7200 pilots and I imagine the vast majority will be on mandatory displacement with no seat lock and/or reinstatement rights for 6 months. I'm thinking the powers that be may REALLY want to rethink this. If an average type rating (someone once told me this) is around $50k...if all 7200 pilots needed a new type that's $360,000,000 ! And with no seat locks...well...

While everyone has their own opinion and preferences, if you are a MD88/90 pilot with decent seniority, are you looking at making the most money you can in either seat, similar trip profiles (primarily East of Mississippi flying like the 717 does), staying in a MD aircraft (717), jumping to the expanding 737 base at ATL or open to switching to the French side stick? Just curious at how 88/90 pilots were looking at the bid...

But 360 million is really less than two weeks of cash burn right now

delta would rather lose 100 million dollars than give you an extra 10 bucks

You really got think BS figured this would be the case the whole time, but is getting the cram down from up above.
Silly to not imagine guys would rather retrain to stay in base vs. chasing their fleet across the country at various bases. I honestly find the whole thing comical if not tragic at the same time. I'm starting to wonder about the leadership of our company. World's best...

Makes sense. I have met some senior 88 As who loved the airplane and the route profiles - not interested in transcon flying. Obviously everyone has their own preference. Just assume that someone who enjoys that type of airplane might want to stick to the smaller MD or Boeing vs bidding something a bit different like the Airbus.
