I'm a little confused -- again. If they are closing the base, why would DC9 guys/gals bid off, when they can get a mandatory displacement and go where they go with no freeze? Or, is there no real difference in the way they are using the terms bid and displace? :confused:

Also, it sounds like guys are going to be sitting around for months not doing anything but waiting for 717 delivieries to come so they can get an OE. That right there is some incentive to bid it on an AE!! (MD's are trained in inverse order.) Of course they would have a freeze. You are correct, MD equals no freeze and AE equals freeze.

Most places offer a discount. You just have to buy/donate $10 to the chapel per year for the discount card. It gives you 10 percent off at most places. I always buy it because as a commuter who eats before and after trips, it pays for itself. I agree though, most airports give every employee a discount.

117 MD-88s + 65 MD-90s? Equals 182 jets right?
There are 1735 pilots right now on the 88/90 and they're not expecting to add more but shrink staffing on it. That's 9.5 pilots per plane, not crews, pilots. 4.8 crews per plane. It's below the 15 pilots per 737, 11 per 320, 14 for the 9. Why do they say we are overstaffed? I mean February, yes, but come summer? Denny |

I believe closing the nine category in this bid may have been a error. I suspect it will close in a follow on bid. If a category is being closed there is no reason to take anything other then a MD.
Yes but it is closing in 15 months, how you bid it is also how you are taken off. AE's are processsed first then md's. Also if you know you want a certain plane and get it who cares about the seat lock. Also if you ae off you will be processed first which could put you in class in a few months, about a year earlier than being md off.....keeping the plane flying until May 2014. A seat lock would be half over by then and some may not want to go through the rough schedule possibilities of a dying plane. At least that is the way i generally understand it. |

Just seems to me they are pushing the summer off line pretty hard. I'm not sure that it will work out that way for more than a handful of people. Bait and switch?
