The 330 is already flying enough departures out of NYC for a base. There is no need to replace any 767 flying. The plan however is to wait for the new 330's so the base can be opened with Minimal training. The new airframes are however delayed to May/June next year for the first two and that might slip further if airbus does not get their act together.

There will be plenty of slots on the 747 over the next 3 years. Lots of retirements. With the way marketing moves the flying around I doubt the 747 will ever see a base change. DTW will be it until they are retired. I know a former NW Captain who wants a whale bid and is ticked that none of the Captains are going early. He hoped they would leave before the fence came down and take one for the team. 747 bids should get more numerous next spring.

Some FOs need to get a bit more dilligent with the "step off the curb fake out."

No reason for them to leave early, unless like 80 says! :D

isnt the 747 training so extremely limited in capacity you couldnt feasibly do a base swap? besides why bother if most if the flying is a deadhead anyways?

My son and his family (4) went to the east coast on real Delta tickets, the children caught strep and they were not able to return home on their original date, initially they were told that it was going to cost $200 per person for a change fee plus the difference in the tickets....well over $1000! He travels alot on Delta and attempted one more time to see if they could work something out, when the situation was explained...Delta asked for the hospital, Dr and a phone number; after which the only charge was the difference...approx $60.00 per person. Kudos to the company, very impressive!

D@mn, I missed all the fun for the past bit.

I'm not saying the content and subesquent use of negotiators notes is not used in official proceedings. Those that pay attention know that neg. notes are used in those situations. I am saying that you will not find "negotiators notes" as a line pilot accessible document that "officially" govern our working conditions like a CBA, LOA, MOU, and arbitration ruling formally govern working conditions.

I apologize for a level specificity that does not meet your standards.
