Glad I was wrong! Always nice to have more flights:

Yep SEA 220 is my bet for the next base. Delta wants to make sure they win in Seattle BIGLY. They can run all of their West Coast ops out of there and SLC. I actually see LAX as one of the last bases to get the 220 with all the 320 growth there.

Rumor in Seattle has it that the next new 320 base will open in Seattle sometime next year.... I know, the 5 year plan changes every 5 weeks...

I think ATL will be one of the last 220 bases. The coming consolidation of the 717 will cover the 110 seat demand for many years plus there's not as many routes out of ATL that require that range/seat load capacity as compared to other bases. I think you'll see more 321s and 737s used in ATL instead of the 220.

I agree that makes a lot of sense. However marketing dominates things like this and flt ops is hanging on by the static wicks following orders to impliment the battle plan like Centurions at Cannae.

Maybe they'll actually take that level of comprehensive logistics into consideration this time. However the temptation to open bases to save a nickle on hotels or a milisecond in credit has proven to be too great in categories that made far less isolated sense than ATL220.

When MGMT gave their presentation to the BoD on the C-series order, a good part of it focused on the aircraft out of SEA. The then SEA VP Medeiros presented it. Always been a big part of the plan to go against AS.

It varies from month to month. For May, the junior line holder on the ER in NYC who didn't have vacation or training (to help them get a line they normally wouldn't get) was #71xx for A and #139xx for B. That's a 1998 or 2000 (N/S) hire for the A and 2/2018 hire for the B.

I’m scheduled for in command this month and I noticed that the 12 hours of pay don’t count towards the green slip trigger. I know CQ counts towards the trigger. I’m surprised, and a little ****ed to see that in command doesn’t. Is this an oversight on my schedule or just the way it is.

Don't worry...after you drink the kool aid, you won't want to steal double pay from the company!
