I don’t do it man. Reread my text. I do the WB. I’ve seen your trips on the NB’s, including the Er. Who wants that crap. Like it said, you can have it. I’ve never had a layover less than 18 hours, and that’s only due to a very late arrival since being on the WB.

0.1% chance. I don’t think they would admit their mistake even if they saw a reason to reopen DTW ER.

B.S. mentioned a few AE’s back that for summer of 2023 they will cover LAX- LHR, CDG and HND with out of base 330 flying. After that, they are now planning on expanding the 350 base (in lieu of a new 330 base), presumably to handle any long haul flying from LAX moving forward.

If so, this would make the LAX 350 a pretty nice category. I can see a future of the 350 doing SYD, HND, ICN, LHR, AMS, CDG, and (eventually) PVG. These destinations should be able to warrant the 300+ seats of the 350.

BS isn't making manning decisions on his own.

I don’t really care where he gets his marching orders from. It looks like he’s given out information that says one thing and then mere days/weeks later done the exact opposite. Not for the first time.

My main point was how deeply flawed our AE process is. Looks like I’ll be MD’d shortly for the second time in 4 years for my 5th full IQ in the last 8 and I can’t guarantee myself a single day off for the better part of the next year? It’s something that definitely needs to be fixed in the next TA. IQ pay as well.

They're tired too, they just don't know it until they stop flying it for a few months lol.

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.
