Don't think he is RSV, otherwise I was thinking the same thing.... but not RSV and working a crapload. To each its own. I know the NYC73B has been zero'd out on staffing since December, and basically continues thru March. Not many newbies in the pipe either. Mas GS to come. CHA-CHING

Are you looking for cheap? Then I'd go with The Hacienda in El Segundo. They have shuttle service and I think the crew rate is $85 when all is said and done. You can also Hotwire a three star place. I usually get the Concierge Hotel(old Radisson). if you stay at the Crowne Plaza then the bar peeps give you the 3-2-1 deal no matter which airline you work for.

Baja.
Bet LAX717A- 80% doesn't break 6000-6500, maybe a few higher for the bottom reserve guys..

The possibility of a joint category with the 330 is also possible. The issue however is the FAA will require you to maintain currency on both airframes.
I bet a case that the routes the 777 are serving out of LA now get replaced with A350s. Gotta take on United in LA with their 787s.

We need a pay scale for the A350 pronto!!!!

I might even bid the right seat just to enjoy the smell of new cockpit, and China!

I'd hate to take a big pay cut though! What's the over/under on wages?

321 has to come first! 7 months from now the first one is coming, and there is no pay rate. There's some leverage for at least an updated contract right there.

On behalf of all AA pilots, I'm sorry.

Strange that there's talk of an LAX 777 base for possibly 2 departures/day when there are already 2 departures/day from JFK.

Not a fan, eh? My best friend flew it for US and said the 321 was his favorite. Do you guys have the 33k motors on them?

With the 206k MTOW and the likely to be ordered NEO-LR having true trans-atlantic capability, that thing had better be at 757 pay!
