Turns out it is a horrible idea from a pax comfort standpoint.

If the tickets are cheap enough, they will put up with it.

Plan on being punished for insubordination on the AE. I have no knowledge regarding it. A previous Crew Resources update said there would be enough A330 and 777 positions to absorb the 747 displacements but now that we failed to wear our backpacks and eat the crap sandwich our union and management were trying to feed us, I fear this AE will be a punishment. The good thing is that if they try to make it too punitive, it hurts the company too by creating a water fall of training.

If an AE is posted 8/1 closes 8/11 earliest conversion is 9/1. Your freeze ends 8/27. You can bid and be awarded an AE

Thanks!

On another note, can spouses park in the non-rev parking lot, or do they have to have a emp ID?

[QUOTE=Jetnfast;1939604]Very nice, that's what I figured, thanks for the extra detail. I am sure all the 73N bases will want to get in on the action, it will be interesting to see how crew skeds flesh out the mix, or whether its primarily LAX and SEA guys flying the trips...

I wonder if the trips will be built as 2 leg 3 days worth about 11 hours with the 24 hour layover and red eye home? I hear those aren't too desirable from a pay stand point...

Also, I am guessing the loads will have to be regulated. I am not sure how a fully loaded -900ER will take off out of Kahului/Maui with a 6995' runway and fly for 5.5 hours to the west coast with step climbs along the way. I guess we will start with HNL and go from there.[/QUOTE]



From what I heard the 737s will be replacing the 757s on some but not all of the Hawaii routes. So I would expect to see the 737s starting out with mostly HNL and any other of the longer runway airports - Kona perhaps?

Correct, that is why the company is keeping 75 757's. That leaves them plenty of airframes to handle performance limited routes.

Do you really think they will punish themselves by creating extra training and under staffing the 777 and 330?

New guy here.

What can a first year guy plan to credit on average? I know it varies across fleets, but ball park?

Can reserves Green slip?

Thanks.
