Has anyone else heard that we may be positioned as the launch customer for the 737 MAX 10, potentially operating under an exemption due to the HUD being consistent with the system currently used on the 737NG? Boeing has several aircraft ready for delivery to DAL (Allegedly), pending final certification. Additionally, if this moves forward as expected, there are indications we could see hiring numbers reach approximately 2,000 next year. Can anyone confirm or provide additional insight?
I think the current plan is for it to be an extra day added to CQ the cycle before the airplane arrives.

Unlikely - if they was to happen, every 737 pilot still has to go through the sim for 737 max training according to the AD from the crashes - so we can't start flying them until they are all trained, unless you want a 737Max category and a 737 category. So next year might be a stretch. Maybe at the end of the the year, but we're still not getting them all at once.

Not a reroute but I recently heard a captain loudly on the phone with CS explaining that if they would drop the penalty lap on a certain trip it would match his WS and he would fly it. He was oh so helpful…less than a few days after the ALPA email came out explaining how making deals is a hose job on fellow pilots.
I have also heard there is a “list” of pilots who will be at the airport within certain timeline triggers…and that IA won’t go out until CS has called them. No personal verification of said information.

Now everything is so automated. It’s all robocalls.

Not a fan of them being able to work me into a day off as a line holder. That should be at least 200% pay. But they seem to like to do that. What you describe is a choice, sometimes the RR or their scheduling meltdowns take line holders into day(s) off. The penalty is not high enough for them to do that. I bid a schedule for a reason. I expect to be home on the day I'm supposed to be home. If that means they have to DH me (again) so be it. Lots of this going on lately.

But it isn’t. See latest MEC Alert…they’re calling from blocked numbers and personal cell phones to get around call recording and automation.
