Interesting - a rare Tuesday release. June 2024 was also a Tuesday release.

39 WB A's, including only 15 BOS 330 A's.

Tomorrow was unlikely. Mon, Tues and Fri postings close on weekdays, Wed or Thur would close on the weekend.

I’ve had to call 911 once in my career on a layover. It was in Grand Rapids. I watched a female sucker punch another female from behind and knock her unconscious. She then grabbed the unconscious girl’s hair and started swinging her limp head into the concrete sidewalk while a mob cheered her on.

It was disturbing and changed my perspective on GRR completely. The police informed me that it was a gang-related crime. This happened a block from the JW Marriott.

If we were awarded new equipment on this AE, is there a minimum time before we can transfer into a different base?

The minimum time is how long it takes to hold the more desired base combined with an opening (posted or backfilled) in said base.

Write this down ...

My prediction: All BOS 330 A's will come from NYC with no backfills. They will stop the awards before training is required.

DTW 350A will be the junior widebody A position for quite some time.

The 350 spots in DTW will be nice and add some movement, but ya it's mostly a boring AE. Monthly AE's have made the AE watching more boring, but they are nice for planning a jump.
