Free beer tomorrow. Maybe.

Didn't you hear? We are getting like fifty A350-1000s. It's right around the corner, I have a sense for these things. I feel it in my bones. You get a WB A! And you get a WB A. And you, and you. Everybody gets a WB A.

It seems the “bigger” WB bids are typically in spring or summer for the following summer. So our next big wide body bid I think will be this coming spring for Summer of 24.

That isn't what Trip has been saying. He assured us there was a massive WB AE coming last year for this past summer. And then he said there would be one this year for the summer of 23. And so now we will have one next year for the summer a year from this next summer? Seems like a long time from now. I honestly was starting to believe Trip. Are we staffed for next summer? Don't answer that, I'm pretty sure I know the answer - we aren't. But that won't stop the company from acting like we are. There is no way we won't be flying to China next summer and no way Japan won't see a massive increase in travel with the strength of the dollar and the huge tourist destination it was becoming before Covid.

You guys screamed for smaller more frequent bids and you got it. There will be no 365 bid with rediculous amounts of postions. Focus on 73/320/7ER doesn't mean there are not going to be WB postions. The focus will always be on those fleets because they have a massive amount of Sim capacity compared to the other fleets. Last AE 765A couldn't even get awarded due to Sim availability.

So- Wheres the big WB bid? Or the big WB bid broken into small pieces. Whats the weather (specifically thunderstorm) outlook for atl this summer. We need the trip accu weather forecast.

Do I need to say why this doesn't make sense just from a mathematical perspective?

We are not a WB airline, why does anyone think there will be massive WB bid? Relative to WB fleet size, we've had several "massive" WB bids in the last two years.

Because Trip said so.

In all fairness, I never really believed it yet was still hopeful.

We certainly have the smaller part...maybe some day soon we'll actually get to the more frequent part.
