Say hello to Miss America, she attended Auburn University and was a Pi Phi there...

:D

Sure there are swimsuit pics I could've posted, but I just felt like the "Hello Ferd..." pics are always the best.

Yeah bro,

We are all family in here. Swimsuit pics should be shared. If there is a problem we can explore (more swimsuit pics) and work on a solution. :D

It's funny that Miss America, who is Miss New York, is from Opelika Alabama.

So she's a carpetbagger, just like Hillary Clinton, seen here in a swimsuit dancing with Bill on the beach....

[NOT DOING IT]

:D

I'm not going to contribute to the delinquency of airline pilots by posting swimsuit pictures of our beloved Auburn girls on the internet :D, so here is the google image link to Miss New York...

On August 2, 2012, the Company announced that it reached an understanding with Delta to add 34 additional used dual-class Bombardier regional jet aircraft that were previously operated by other regional carriers for Delta in exchange for the early termination of 66 Bombardier CRJ200 regional jet aircraft (“CRJ200s”) under the SkyWest Airlines and ExpressJet Delta Connection Agreements. The Company anticipates the 34 additional dual-class aircraft will be subleased from Delta for a nominal amount. The 34 additional dual-class aircraft consist of five Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet aircraft (“CRJ700s”) and 29 Bombardier CRJ900 regional jet aircraft (“CRJ900s”). As of September 30, 2012, the Company had taken delivery of 13 CRJ900s and 2 CRJ700s. The Company anticipates that the remaining dual-class aircraft to be provided by Delta will be delivered by June 2013. The Company anticipates that all 66 CRJ200 aircraft will be removed from the Delta Connection Agreements by December 31, 2015. Of the 66 CRJ200s to be removed from service, 41 CRJ200s are subleased from Delta for a nominal amount, which are scheduled to be returned to Delta without obligation to the Company. As of September 30, 2012, three of the 66 CRJ200 aircraft have been removed.

I think those are Comair birds and therefore don't increase the number of 76 seaters prematurely. However it still makes you wonder how closely the numbers are being watched in this magic show. You know how a slight of the hand goes. Distractions can take you a long way in this world of illusion. :(

365 day bid
 
Can someone explain what is meant by a 365 day bid? I think I know but might be missing something.

Believe that is the amount of time to have all new assignments converted. They only get one of these a year still I think.

The typical guy I fly with (767ER FO in the top 20% of the category, usually commuting from Florida) is planning on bidding the 717 in ATL when the category opens. They seem to equate it with progression.

Why would someone in the top 20% on the 7ER FO category bid the 717 when it opens? They have been able to hold 88 CA for awhile and would have done that already if they wanted too.

They can schedule training all the way out till day 365 for conversion. Of course other AE's might even take place before then.

Does anyone know if the -900s are going to have the new lighting and bins? I was on an Alaska -900 recently and it was very nice...very new, it had that new Boeing airplane smell vs. that cat lady smell...

FTB, I'm good if you send the Ms. America swimsuit pics...War Eagle!

Yup Boeing "Sky" interior, new wall/ceiling panels, LED lighting and 777-style bins...

Cheers
George

FYI, crew planning has made zero adjustments to their planned manning with the new contract. The net job loss was costed out at 108 jobs however the new FTDT regs will offset most or all of that. It also appears the company will not ask for any contractual changes for the new rules and will operate under the current contract.

Who's your source?

They know they are not likely to work much the next two years.
