True, but the AE bid results says the following:

JFK/ATL7ER AND 765 PILOTS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A RUSSIAN VISA.

765 does UUEE from ATL in the summer or at least it has!

We did in '08, but in '09 we did it out of JFK. One variation of the pairing was ATL-BCN-JFK-SVO-JFK-BCN-ATL. It was still freezing a$$ in SVO, balmy in BCN and definitely out of money with a bad liver by trips end!

That's what I figured - any rumors you can share on what the AE after SOC is going to look like (other than SLC/MSP swap)?

Thanks for the info about KBP, even though it's bad news for me--

Kiev is one of my favorites; I hate to lose it. Given the way those things change, I'm still hoping they change their mind.

The summer schedule has a serious amount of AMS flying: 3X/day from JFK and DTW, and 4X/day from MSP. That looks like the place to nonrev through...

MOAB! (Mother of All Bids)

It appears that it is going to be a very big bid that will probably encompass most fleets and bases. Now that was last weeks plan, so it can change this week:D

The exact details are not widely known, so we will let them leak out accordingly.

Looks like a early to mid December AE for everyone. SOC will be announced before the end of the year.

You know something I don't? Does "WE" mean something I am not aware of? It was not in the official sense. ya know?

We as you, me, he, she, it(anyone including you, Slow). What I have heard is purely conjure and not worth posting IMHO. (Some of it would be fun to post, but in reality there is a lot in the works as you are very aware of)

You know who I am Slow, and I have no more information than the average line guy.(Which I am) :rolleyes:

I sure hope not!

Yes.... and if the rest of their trips were as good as ours, I'd seriously consider downbidding.. but..... :cool:
