Good. Very good. As he should.

Toulouse would be nicer.

Not a bonus but a “one time payment” this sounds like Orwellian newspeak.

I just got the AE memo in my email. It’s pretty detailed. I’ll let someone else go through the deets.

Would love to hear the reasoning behind double staffing 717B over 717A in both bases

As others predicted, All NB-Bs with a 210 day conversion window. Based on how all the staffing is (lots more NB Bs than As in almost every category) im expecting a large A and WB B bid shortly after this.

There are three 717 sims and only ~50 airframes in service. They have no intention of training the majority of the 717B positions. They'll be paid 717B whether they train or not. They want them in there so that the next AE will actually seat lock them. A clever affected pilot would IA to 717B, skip the next bid, not train for three months enjoying the summer, then bid something else when they get a training date in October.

Kudos to Bob for trying to reduce his training nightmare.
