If you are referring to 321 to Hawaii, they certainly have. SEA to OGG for starters.

I’ve got friends on the 220 in a few different bases. One went 7+ weeks on reserve without flying. Took him the whole 12 hour call out just to shave his beard. Other one drops his whole line every month. It’s a magical category currently, no wonder it’s closed.

12 hour to shave his beard? Amazing! I would suggest he gets a fresh blade.

Hey Guys,

Is there anyone who can give me some insight onto the DTW320 vs DTW717. Starting here shortly and from what I’ve seen in the bid awards, the seniority to hold a line seems to be very similar. I understand the flying difference between the fleets, I am more interested in the reserve usage on both, and the training timeline. TIA

Can anyone shed some light on what life is like for a 7ER NH in LAX?

If LAX is the goal, which is the better fleet to target?

I’ve been on 7ER in LAX for over a year now. PM if you have questions. Lots of trips down to Latin America, Hawaii is big or slow (HNL essentially on the heavies 76 with MSP/DTW/SLC as well). For instance OGG is on neos now, as is LIH for January. But then January to March KOA/OGG moves to 76 from neos. So it’s hit or miss. We lost HNL/KOA in summer then it’s back, then it’s gone etc. Long term I expect just HNL as the neos grow.

Transcons but even those are subject as we’ve lost SFO transcons. Seeing more ATL flying obviously. We get almost no europe, peak was 7 rotations in summer. One month as FO’s we had about 50-60 Africa trips, I enjoyed that month a lot.

Tahiti (which is seasonal) and Tokyo from HNL resumes in March. I disagree it’s going to ATL only because it would make sense to get a lot of us pacific qualified and not ATL crews. But based on how our out of base Europe trips are divided up, wouldn’t shock me. Seems the only bases that go international on the ER are NYC/ATL.

As far as your seniority here it appears based on what Bob has said is the base will be growing for a couple years. But you never know with Delta. It’s hard to say to a new hire now because I was a UNA so when I got in I was 100%, in 1 year I bid mid 60%’s right now, and after conversions of the August bid I’ll be 41%. I can actually even hold left seat now, which is crazy. But it’s hard to say you’d get the same results because the top 10-20% are very very senior and I don’t know how much movement there is to expect below me. And the ER is always a long term question mark of what they want to do with it…

Just curious - not throwing any spears... Do LAX pilots really expect much (or any) Europe? Sure it’s great to get something new, but still?

Concur it would make the most sense to have LAX be the default for all Pacific ops, unless there just weren’t enough crews with SEA closing.
