if that were the case, who would be paying for that shiny magazine? :)
And from what I am told by union leaders, most of the regionals ALPA stuff is subsidized by the Majors. Hard to survive on 1.95% of 40,000 times 1500 pilots :) It is spreading the dues around.... |

So is ATL 767 closing on the next AE for sure or over subsequent AEs?
And if we were to be getting more A32#s, sure seems odd to displace from the jet. Which is a bummer. |

Basically means more backwards movement for a lot of FO's in ATL.
We'll see when the bid comes out.... I used to look forward to bids with some anticipation, now it feels more like going to the dentist. |
I am 100 % against flow through agreements; I think they are a carrot that management uses to drive down pilot wages. However, I would be in favor of guaranteed interview, only because I don’t want to wait ten years to flow, I would rather take my chances now rather than wait around. I am just over 31 years old and was hired at Pinnacle when I was 24, my career clock is ticking. I have over 8000 hours, a college degree, a line check airman and a clean record. I NEED to get out of this place ASAP, or change careers; I cannot wait around for a flow. It’s mostly my fault that I am still here, I have not applied anywhere else besides Northwest Airlines and Delta, I always said I would never commute out of MSP for a airline job, but now I see that is just a pipe dream.

Awesome. So much for my plan to go back to the 767 if the 320 continues to be completely stagnant. Or will I even be able to hang onto it?

My guess is that ATL 7ER FO will probably end up about even with the left seat of the 88 in MSP or New York. Wish we were doing our share of transatlantic flying to make up some of those seats. |

I'm wondering where those Captains are going. They could really create a lot of pin action which would presumably be mostly absorbed in the left seat of the 717.

Do we know yet how many more 73N's and 717 seats will be on that next AE since we are leaking possible info?
8 757's are gone at the end of the year, so we'll see how that plays into the opening of the DTW 73N base. Sounds like there's going to be a lot in play, but mostly a wash to slightly negative. |

They've stated that the initial 717 will be a 1:1 displacement from the DC-9.
