Bar. Airplane that is delayed for over 3 hrs is here. Got to run. I can address significant later tonight. In the mean time, what would you deem significant. Wording before was just that.

"Significant"

Personally, I'd reverse engineer the LOA s on the JVs and define significant with the points that later proved to be harmful to us. It's not that difficult nor a contentious issue. Obviously 117 changes and CDOs are significant.

I don't know what he was implying. I THINK he was implying that he believes the 747 is so senior and the pilots now holding it would get bumped.. I believe the 777 is more senior but I am not sure.... I know the 777 has a higher percentage of mandatory retirements coming in the nest few years...

Voted on which TA, the one with the CDOs or without?

And fwiw yes if the MEC wanted every agreement could go to the memory rat.

How did you see it was reversed? I pulled up my schedule from the 31Jan bid period and still saw a "P/DR". Are you seeing it somewhere else to feel it was reversed?

Hey man, I'm trying to be above-board and give credit where credit is due.

but thanks for being a dick (as usual).

I am firmly with you on the Transatlantic JV 36 month window. Unsure on the TransPac and against on 177, but again with you on CDO's.

Good luck on the 3 hour delay and have a cup of joe on me.

If we can figure out a litmus test for "significant" then I agree with you and will work on getting something passed if you want the help.

This sounds like a time for

Tsquare: " I know the 777 has a higher percentage of mandatory retirements coming in the nest few years"

........ ... .... need double if statement... . ... ... ...

TRUE.

If you're dumb enough to trust ESSHM, the 777A is going to lose 26% of its pilots (72 total) in the next 3 years. The 744A comes in at 21% (46).

Now the next highest percentage of loss comes from the 765A losing 23% or 41 pilots in the next 3 years, the 330A only loses 12% or 36 pilots.

NB? The 717A will lose a higher % of As to retirement then the M88A (3% vs 2%), although there are nearly 1000 M88As vs 185 717As.

The 7ERA will lose 109 As but that is only 7% of that category.

I think the whole DTW744A -> ATL744A is nothing more than an effort to irritate FNWA. The thought is that because of the fence that DTW744A is junior-ish. Thus if you closed it and reopened it in ATL at the end of the year then senior guys would bid it and flush out all of the FNWA from 744A.

The only thing is training capacity couldn't handle a complete flush, you'd be taking As (there's only a dozen-ish Bs senior to the 744A plug) and moving them to the 744 which probably wouldn't happen in mass and why bother?

ATL 744 departures per day... 1
DTW 744 departures per day... 2
MSP 744 departures per day... 1
LGA 744 departures per day... 0 :eek:
SLC 744 departures per day... 0
CVG 744 departures per day... 0
LAX 744 departures per day... 1
SEA 744 departures per day... 0 <- big mistake if they want to troll Alaskan Airlines
JFK 744 departures per day... 2

You must have gotten a GS. Because a "cup of joe on me..."

It's that damn phone app. You would not believe how much money I spent getting GOLD status then, nothing. 1 out of every 12 is free and free refills ... yeah, so I drink mine, get the refill and hand the cup to the Captain, or A Line.
