I agree, this AE is very small. However almost all of the openings are in the left seat. Does anyone really think they won't fill the B seats that are vacated as folks move up.
Read the memo on DLNET. We're still waiting for the network guys and the MBAs to decide which way we'll go for next summer before we really start to do anything. I think this bid is positive with 86 more openings than displacements and while I don't want to put too much sunshine on your doom and gloom parade, WB A positions generate the most training events and as folks move up they'll have to replace some of them. The largest category to lose folks to the RMA was the 7ERA and they didn't take the opportunity to further shrink the ATL 767 category.
For all of your ulcers' sakes, lighten up! For the record, I was a no voter.

Overstaffed? I'm a NYC 7er B reserve, & we ran out of reserves almost everyday in July. I worked 80 hours/4 trips and managed only 3 days of LC. The WX hasn't even been bad this summer as the Midwest is in a terrible drought. The NYC 320B category is the same way. They are often lucky to have 1 guy on SC a day. DTW/MSP 320B is short too. I know Elvis90 has been getting hammered on M88 B reserve. If anything, we are properly staffed. Definitely not overstaffed IMO.
Didn't they also announce a further 5% capacity reduction?
One month out of 12 is acceptable to award a ton of GS's. This is likely to be the new norm with being able to staff for winter and flex in summer.

That and the simulator moves to ATL that limit throughput right now....
But by all means, print out the next few AE's and add them up.

I have never used the bank before. I dropped a reserve day in July and was wondering if it's too late to use the bank to get full pay for July and if so how do I do it? No luck trying to figure it out on my own.
Nevermind, I figured it out.

Here I've been giving it away, free, for years!
If only I'd been charging, I might have made enough to retire.

Speaking of capacity reductions - If Delta says they are reducing capacity 5% without any further amplification, the cuts could come from anywhere.
It could be all DCI, could be Pacific, Atlantic, Domestic mainline, or a combination of all. So just saying DAL will reduce 5% without the specifics really does not tell you much.
