I am hearing Nov in service date. That would mean a May bid.

Are we inadvertently getting “our” wish for monthly AE’s then? Temporarily anyway?

Looks like another dud with no narrowbody A’s — and with 88 displacements. Lovely.

It is amazing they can manage to continue to only offer new hire bids. Oh and i forgot the steady stream of 350 captains they need to fill the pipes... not mad, a little impressed.

Well with so many ways to exceed the pick up limit we can get by with fewer Captains.

Scoop

It's plainly obvious what they're doing. Saving narrowbody vacancies for 88 displacements -- just like last year. Huge savings in the long run.

Correct. They are going to get a read on where guys go before they open vacancies.

Or I guess a September bid....

Airframes starting in fall, EIS in January now with positions on the June AE.

Is that more or less current than the dates on the monthly update sent out today? Asking for a friend who might be running a pool on the if/when C series happens... :D
