The positions being offered are the positions where we will continue to grow in the future (717, 73N) and where their seniority can hold.

Our goal is to minimize the training churn. Obviously placing the returning pilots all on the 717 would waste 717 training slots as they quickly bid off. We feel these positions will allow the pilots to return to a position they will remain in for at least the short-term.

Category Available Positions Category Available Positions
DTW-73N-B 25 ATL-M88-B 18
LAX-73N-B 5 CVG-M88-B 1
NYC-73N-B 20 MSP-M88-B 9
NYC-M88-B 2
DTW-320-B 7
NYC-320-B 8 ATL-717-B 39
SLC-320-B 5 DTW-717-B 37
Is there nothing in our contract that says that these slots need to go through the AE process first? Seems like saving some seats for recalls and not offering them to the rest of the pilot group could end up violating seniority.

I'd wear 'em all like a hat.

It's one thing to post pictures of cheerleaders. That's been done a lot.

It's another to post pictures of Oregon cheerleaders, that's been done a lot.

But to post pictures of yourself posing with the Oregon cheerleaders while wearing the opposing teams colors... WHILE WEARING A HAT...

I was wondering about that with LAX/SLC, I thought there was still a struggle to get in those bases.

And how safe are you driving home after all of that?
FTB,

"nail, meet hammer"......when I was at Purple we had some terrible car accidents with guys driving home after our version of the Lean Over......including me......made it to 2 miles from my house before departing controlled flight.

Indeed - I'm pretty sure there are still people out there who have been displaced into commuting from those basses. But hey, they're junior, so who cares

Oh, and commuting is a choice

You, sir, have raised the bar VERY high. Well done! We are all in awe. We need to convene a NewK, T Square and Carl Spackler summit....the rest of us will just take notes. In fact, if Syria, Russia and the US would be amenable, the real world would work as its supposed to. Just bring the cheerleaders!

There are a bunch of us that are commuting from SLC to other bases. It's always awesome to move to a base and then commute from it.
