This matches what I've heard from reliable sources. Expect an announcement about the DTW717 base closing sometime in Q3 next year, followed by all the flights transferring to ATL. Apparently, they will operate in ATL until 28 and then gradually phase out, being gone by 30. |

I suppose this AE will be telling.

They'll spend longer than that ensh1tifying the DTW flying to force as many guys off as possible before MDs.

It's still my #1 guess for the next one and was my #1 guess even before the BOS330. See how wrong I can be. That should provide comfort for some.

Lol ya, kinda like they did to ATL 88 near the end. I remember one month they only build 4 days with all 3 and 4 leg days. Someone screwed up and set the ALV such that 3 x 4 days was below the LCW but 4 was above it. Blank lines for all my friends. |

Any current intel from those in the know? |

Oh, I fully expect BOS 320 is coming in the relatively near future. Just a matter of when.
LOL, they aren't always the smartest in the room... But it's a reminder for those who want to ride the displacement train all the way into the station. It's not all unicorns and rainbows. Yes, you can go 'anywhere you can hold' without a seat lock, and maybe get a paid move, but the last year getting there can be really painful bid packets and QOL. Not worth it for most folks, IMO. |

Not sure what the current talk on the fleet is, but not all that long ago, the word was ATL was the very last place the 220 would go, if ever.

An FO was asking me about this very thing recently. He was wondering if its good or bad to hang on. I said it depends on how they do it, it could be really good or really bad. What I fear, is steadily getting more and more junior and getting stuck with no openings where I want to go. I really don't want to get slammed with a summer/fall training date. |
