I thought the 330IGWs were supposed to be growth... :eek:

DogWhisperer sighting in ATL ops. I'm going to fart and see if he notices.

I'm sure they are based on all this coming together this way but when your route goes from an ER to a Bus then the ER goes to some place less desirable you feel a little left out on the growth feeling.....

The ATL 777 lost London, Rome, Paris and Frankfurt to the big buss, join the crowd. At least if you are on the 767, you can bid UP to the Bus, get a raise and keep your trips.

All your route are belong to megapoodle.

I'm hearing the 330IGWs are going to replace the 777 on some of its current 14ish hour legs and the 777 will redeploy to farther asia.

Dats whut I herd at least....

Yup, you would be correct. Also for more US-Brazil frequencies.

FWIW, the October crew resources bulletin says that they are "incremental" and that they expect to hire to fill them. I guess "incremental" means growth...approx 100 additional captains and 150 FOs.

I should have made my sarcasm more clear...I meant it to be ragging on him for his wording choice.
