The “MD” portion of the affected pilot bid closes on 3/30. They will have that out 3/31. Mass convert all the pilots on 4/1. Post the AE by 4/10 so it has 10 days to be open, 10 days to process and still have an earliest conversion date of May 2.

It was a joke. Makes sense why some believed the 717’s weren’t coming without more RJ’s, right Bucking?

I don’t know what they are going to do with the current group of returnees.

This AE was a cake walk. There were no displacements with minimal if any contingent vacancies. There were exactly 0 variables to optimize. One and done, next...

April will be exponentially more difficult with contingent vacancies and training load optimization. I bet the April AE results will be published the second Friday after the bid closes.

Is there a way to get pre Covid Bid packages, ie July 2019 330 Detroit bid pack? Essentially is it archived and retrievable? Thanks in advance.

I bet they already have the draft done, dates and all.

All these dates are for a reason. They will always back up the dates from when they need conversions to start when they “pick” an AE date, to include processing time. It’s not an accident. Agree with your timing Bugman, at the latest.

Well, if delta is serious about unretiring the 717, here are at least 2 that won’t come back...

Question for those of us awaiting TOE or OE. Do our X days actually mean anything when it comes to availability and scheduling? I'm moving next month and I set up my X days to help out. I was getting information that I'm effectively on long call until TOE is finished.
