It will be interesting to see how they put in their final qualifiers.
Thought so. Bummer. For a second I thought I was missing out on a feature.

I renewed my subscription today. It's great news, and a valuable tool, particularly on reserve.

OK, thanks. I enjoy your posts, and certainly could do worse than being mentioned with Gloopy, I do like a well-turned phrase, but I especially enjoy an independent opinion. I don't mind a slant, but I like to know that some of us let the facts dictate our opinions, not philosophy. For example, but it's not a complete list, I like to read from scambo, scoop, ferd, newk, buzz, ftb, bar, johnso and deadhead, because they are among those that seem to value reason AND their own instincts.

As for the AE, I'm mostly just cogitating, readibg APc, and plotting. Don't have any earth-shattering insight or opinion. I'm trying to bid what I want, and to want what I bid.

Good luck to all.

Sailing has little to no credibility as far as I'm concerned. Practically 80% of what he posts is biased and skewed"
Jeez he's already of the dalpa forum, will he leave the apc forum's as well?

Too expensive?

And if you want to reduce capacity for your Capacity Dicipline program, you just want to shut it down anyway...right?

If everyone is going to the 717 because of the nice glass and FMCS then they should be happy that the 88/90 are all getting the cockpit refresh. Start in 2014 end in 2015. Or am I not supposed to put that in?

My career progression prior to 2013 had nothing to do with the TA of course. None of the other items you list have any relationship to the TA productivity gains I'm concerned with, nor do I mistake their effects for those I calculate from the TA areas I'm discussing. And I simply don't believe some of your numerical summarization is correct or accurate, much is inferred based on YOUR beliefs on what is causal.

Anyways, we're both hoping for the same things and just arguing about angels on the head of a pin while we wait for those hopes to materialize. Without full access to both of us of all the data crew resources has, it's just two blind guys arguing about the heat they feel on their skin for half the day. You say it's a fire carried on a giant tortoises back as he walks across the horizon each day; I say its a giant ball of flame towed behind Apollo's chariot as he traverses the heavens. Neither of us is close to astro-mechanics of stars.
Of course, I'm much much closer in my guess than you are
The problem with blaming the TA is facts get in the way. Categories properly manned with stable block hours have seen no change in manning. Crew planning has made no changes with their manning assumptions with the TA. 767ERA is a excellent example. Plus a couple of positions overall in a category that should have if you believe the forum have had a massive loss of jobs. 73NA is another example. Plus 80 captains with more captains postings planned as the year progresses. This is a category adding about 10 airframes in the next year. If you believe this TA was a massive job loss how do you explain the numbers?
