Im bored in the lounge in SLC and am playing around with the count of pilots bidding a certain position, well I noticed the system is letting you input Sea 73n and NYC 330B. Looks like it will certainly be on the Jan AE

Thanks for the response. The problem is everybody seems to use this thread for everything. If Delta had a sub-category, then items could be categorized by topic, ala united, american, etc. This can't be that hard to do. I was a lurker and occasional poster on the old hanger talk and this seems like the best alternative I've found, but the way it's organized is clumsy at best. I can't state strongly enough how helpful that old hanger talk forum was and how strongly I feel the people that ran it are cowards that remind me now of certain SONY Pictures executives

I heard the 2 Jan thing. I was just speculating that this might finally be the big AE (MOAB) folks have been talking about for 5 years. Maybe MOAB Lite, but with the new categories and prepping the ER for summer flying (and hopefully some backfill in other areas that haven't been feeling the love), should be some significant movement this time.

The MOAB is never a MOAB if it's predicted to be a MOAB.

Absolutely! But with the new lows in the price of oil, those 744's look a lot better and more mainline NB's can recapture RJ flying..Jan AE could be a pleasant surprise!

^^^This^^^

Why buy something else when you can keep flying what you have, ready to go, now...

Who knows, maybe the next bid will have awards instead of displacements on the whale...
