Burn Notice

There are plenty that live in FL that will just commute that way. The ones that don't will be senior enough to bump whomever they want out of the ER in ATL.

I am sure that 765 in NYC will go quite senior. Good! Lets hope that the guys that want to hang on to the ER in NYC get to.

If rumor becomes fact, ATL will be bloody on the widebody seats. Let just hope they let those that want to stay in ATL stay in ATL.

I'm seriously thinking of making the move from ATL ER to NYC ER. I'd be 100 places senior to where I am right now if I was there already, and a commute on B6 to JFK can't be any worse than a commute to ATL on ASA. Plus added bonus, I could fly with DT from PHX!

I agree, but I would also put a percentage in there. I know on my MD I have NYC 7ERB but only at 74%. Not sure if I would want to risk any lower.

Lets wait and see.

Most of the Asia flying is done from MSP, but with the FNWA 755 guys tossing our Europe Jepps the DTW guys may pick up more.

Actually, the best place to send the NRT flying out of is.........LAX. Denny, see you soon.........I have the bar stool at "The Godfather" picked out for you:D You just gotta tell me how to bid it..........I'd be the #16 LAX 'ER FO (right now)

Ferd <------worst FO in da system

Problem is many of the ATL765 guys won't even be able to hold it in NYC now that its open to FNWA. I think you are correct. That category is going to be very senior. Filled with FNWA 757/A320 guys who have been waiting a long time for widebody seats.

"Bloody" is right. There's going to be a massacre in Atlanta.

that'd make total sense Ferd. I guess out of LAX a 755/7ER pilot could do LAX-HNL-NRT then do NRT flying and then come back. You could even do it all on the 75ER or 753 or mix 767 in there.

Speaking of which, what about the 753, is that coming to other bases now?

What base is most crashpad friendly? NYC?

Check, love the picture.

The base you live in:D

NYC is good, lots of stuff. DTW has cheap hotels, and MSP is not too bad either. Looking at a condo in DTW and or MSP to keep for the long term.

NYC has long been setup for commuters. Lots of crashpads in Queens and easy transportation to LGA or JFK. (EWR not so much)

The picture is my "displacement avatar". In honor of this bid. :(

Ooh I like the new picture!

Just wish I had not lost 100K in value over the last year on this stupid house.
