Flew from MIA to LAX today and landed precisely in our "arrival window." Our scheduled gate was 67. As I was braking and exiting the high speed, we got a gate change ACARS message to a gate that was occupied by a Frontier jet. Our gate, 67, was empty at the time. We called the ramp and asked why our gate had been changed to one that was occupied from one that was currently empty. The answer: there's an inbound Alaska flight which will now get our original gate. OK, how about another gate since Frontier isn't scheduled to push for 30 minutes? No, a Great Lakes Brasilia, inbound, gets the other empty one.
So, a 737-800 packed to the gills and on time has to wait for an inbound Alaska flight and a Great Lakes Brasilia that aren't even here yet.
Glad we can be so accommodating to other airlines pax. Our Delta pax weren't so happy burning on the taxiway for 40 minutes. I'm sure marketing has an answer but it sure doesn't seem like we're doing right by OUR passengers.

Hey Buzz,
Sounds like LAX standard.
Have a good weekend.Scoop

But as a Captain once told me- you're an FO, nobody cares what your FCR says.
probably true.

The rest are probably all about the same with lots of talk about CVG being the next to get the axe.

Our contract is already as or more restrictive than the new rest rules for the most part... I'm hearing 300 or so pilots?

Let's say you're 4% from the bottom or bidding around 96%. What does that buy you? (using current category list and not the projected one off our last system bid)
Well, you'd be a March 2008 hire for one.
You would hold:
- SLC A320 B and be around 90%
- NYC M88 B and be around 38%
- NYC 7ER B and be around 87%
- NYC 737 B and be around 90%
- NYC A320 B and be around 53%
- MSP M88 B and be around 78%
- MSP 320 B and be around 93%
- DTW DC9 B and be around 50%
- DTW 7ER B and be around 99.6%
- DTW 320 B and be around 84%
- CVG M88 B and be around 85%
- CVG 737 B and be around 97%
- ATL M88 B and be around 90%
- ATL DC9 B and be around 29%
- ATL 737 B and be around 99%
You wouldn't hold the following categories right now:
- Any Captain (A) position
- SLC 7ER FO (B)
- SLC 73N B, almost, but a few numbers back.
- SEA 7ER B
- SEA A330 B
- NYC 767-400 B (referred to here as the 765)
- MSP 7ER B
- LAX 7ER B
- LAX 737 B
- DTW 777 B
- DTW 747 B
- DTW 330 B
- ATL 7ER B
- ATL 777 B
- ATL 767-400 B
- ATL 767 DOMESTIC B
- ATL 330 B
- ATL 320 B
I think I got it all.
We have about 11,805 pilots and 1,100 are out due to sick leave, furlough or military leave. And to answer your question,
- ATL: 777, 330, 764, 767/7ER, 737, 320, M88 and DC9.
- CVG: 737, M88
- DTW: 777, 747, 7ER, 330, 320, DC9
- LAX: 7ER, 737
- MSP: 7ER, 320, M88
- NYC: 764, 7ER, 320, 737 and M88
- SEA: 7ER and 330
- SLC: 330, 320, 737
Keep in mind though, things will be a lot different when hiring resumes and retirements kick in. There are people learning to fly right now that'll be within a few % points on the list from pilots already flying here. I can point to a 2001 and 2007 hire where that's the case and there's only a 1% difference between them. But look at other parts of the list and excluding differences with the merger, 1% doesn't elicit that much of a difference in timing.
