Just a hunch but everyone loves their 757/767. My hunch is these senior ATL 767 guys go to the ER. ER guys would then get displaced and most likely to airplanes they can hold. And knowing that these pilots will bid back to the 757/767 ASAP, then they know they'll have to pay for two training cycles per MD'd ER pilot. That cost cash, which is just money. So what's the ROI on MDing an ER pilot to the 73 vs keeping them on the ER?
Ah the price you pay for me making every base ER qualified!
Lax no international flights, SLC one international flight(CDG),Msp One(Ams)
Should have kept them domestic as well as ATL. Then they could have made Jfk,Dtw,Atl and Sea purely international on the 7ER

Well if the back door is working, it seems I didn't get displaced, whew.

How do we request conversion to be earlier, later, etc?

Well, let's say the first run produced massive MDs. I'm sure they're now just trying to make decisions on how they want to handle that and say run some categories, say the ER, fat?

I'm frankly surprised they'd be able to get it out in a day. Hope they do so pilots don't wait around til Monday. I think that's kind of crappy given that it's MDs. Which is all we seem to do anymore.

I'm just going to believe they're running out of tricks to make the rats conform to the intended tracks in the maze, and that they're finally going to loosen this system up, and set it up for a training flow that's allegedly coming, and that they purport to be concerned about.
As long as I'm dreaming, I'm going to guess they'll elect to pull this thing, and re-offer it, minus displacements. Probably purely delusional on my part, but I can have a better week-end that way.

I agree with your hunch. I hope this is a sign those pesky 767 guys are giving them all kinds of trouble. Maybe they don't even want to (gasp!) rush to the 88, where they can patiently wait for their 717 short-course. Maybe they're scattering everywhere but where some 4th floor guy modeled them, and maybe the guys junior to them are also failing to put in economically sensible displacement bids.

The only time I can recall a bid being pulled was back in 1995. I was displaced from ATL M88B to CVG 737B, and they sent about 700 guys to NYC 727C to furlough them. This was back when we were negotiating Contract 1996, aka the Fortune 500 Contract, so I guess it must have been 1996. They cancelled that bid when we agreed to put the FLUFS into Air Sunshine, better known as Express today.
