Substitute JFK for the LGA and that looks like a typical JetBlue four day trip. Glad to see they are putting mainline metal on it instead of running a bunch of 900's out there.

Once they release the actual language you will hear plenty of opinion.

The next 60 days are going to be very interesting.

FWIW AA advocated for SWA hourly rates (converted) = MD88 hourly rates.

Hey Mods, you guys think about a subforum for the DAL TA discussion?

It isn't necessarily germane to all "major" news....

But for some reason, I still haven't. I think this bucket thing is a little out of whack and I am a major beneficiary of it right now. Not sure this is how it should be but maybe May is slow. 0 SCs and 0 trips.

I start a 4 day today. I have flown a 2 day and 3 shortcalls this month. I finally have a raw of 81. I should have my last 4 days as long call. That will put me at working 9 of the 18 reserve days. I am middle of the road overall, but junior holding weekends off. Some of us are working. The old way, I probably would have worked less, but it is what it is. I will be senior someday.
