AE question- I was displaced to the ATL M88 B from LAX 767 B. I'm pay protected right now. If I only put in a displacement bid, and someone junior to me (highly unlikely) picks up a 7ER or 73N with an AE bid, do I lose the pay protection? Do I need to put in an AE bid for any 7ER or 73N to protect myself as long as I'd rather have those positions? Thanks in advance.

So far we've made it over the hump, even the pessimists believe the recovery is here (flat) but certainly within the 22 month breakeven point on furlough costs. Combine that with the fact that we're approaching 2 years into the age 65 change and we should start seeing guys drop off within that period of time as well. The merger has likely saved alot of peoples bacon, mine included.

it was meant in terms of retirements but it is more and more likely to happen as guys get closer to 65 though, sad but true.

Yep the static is 50% of us make it to 60. They do not have one from ages 60-65.

On a side note, have you flown with a Vegan? I have not seen a DAL CA yet that does not love dead animal.

But I'm an FO and therefore a camelion, one that says right on as I am chowing down if not somewhat wearing mango chicken from that Asian place in terminal B.
I'm not sure how I find the time to be online. I run from the computer like a scolded dog when caught.

If you come back and have used up your full 12 months you can't go back out using the same reason for a period of 24 months.
If you went out for a different reason though it's ok and then you start using your second batch of 12 months.
