No. When you bid for CQ I think you can request to not go early, but if they have the sim slots, you will go early.

I've went on my early month every CQ except 1. I just figure that is what I will get every time now.

It's already 10200 for the 717. I'm guessing it won't hit new hire but it'll be low

I was hired last Jan and from this Jan seniority list I am 1100 away from most Junior awarded Captain.

My guess is junior Captain on this bid will go more senior than previous AE

The 777 is a perfect example. 25 ATL CA positions. 10 747 displacements. 10 positions dependent upon 10 DTW 777 CA bidding to ATL, otherwise the positions don't exist. That leaves 5 new slots.

Sorry to be Debby Downer. But, this scenario repeats itself across all of the categories. Even the 73N in SEA is dependent upon SLC and CVG bidding into it.

I'm a little disappointed. But, I'm married and I'm used to it.

It's probably not as good as it looks at first glance, but it might not be as bad as you think.

Let's say all 10 747 captains bump down to DTW 777 and 330 positions. Doesn't that increase the amount of 777 and 330 captains to be awarded in NYC and ATL?

The whole "Vacancies Contingent on not Backfilling" thing is confusing. But, it seems like it's much better than them saying they aren't backfilling at all.

Of course, all of this is based on me understanding on what they are saying. And that never happens.

Why an equal of NYC 330A's and B's. Shouldn't it be 1-2?

Training capacity, they actually want 50 crews by summer in NYC and around 100 in another year. Only so much sim time available. Cheaper to DH FO's around then CA's.
