Question about the AE, are we drawing down NYC ER? Nobody has said it, I know it seems inherent with the 765 coming but is it really? And when does the 765 start flying out of there? And while everyone is training for A320s, MD89s and 765s, who is flying their old airplanes?

At home, on SC, SC = ATL or Uncommutable = ATL fwiw ;), waiting for the AE. Wish I had a 5-point harness. Have I mentioned how much the MD88 ATL B sucks today? If not, I can beat that drum. :D

Happier thought: Hey Super, is McCoy winning the Heisman? I asked a Texas fan that yesterday and he said, only if the voters lose track of the clock.

Ferd,

What are your thoughts on DTW flying? Don't know if anything is going to happen to CVG ER on this bid, but with all the cascading, you never know. I have recently posed this question here but wanted to get your sage thoughts. Am just now getting my body back on Eastern time zone!

Cog,

Have you thought about bidding the 777 in DTW? My guess is you will be able to hold it. Maybe even line hold.

Denny,

That would be CVG guys! We got nothing else to do

If you are on the ATL 7ER B, please bid to NYC. It would help me get to ATL.

That's my worry!!!:) Having looked at the bid packages for CVG for the last couple of months, I understand your concern about the viability of the CVG ER category.:(

Denny,

You know, initially my thoughts have been to hang on to CVG ER til the bloody end since I live here and reserve is really good right now. Then go to DTW 755/ER. However all this talk has got me thinking...One of my classmates is considering DTW 777 but I thought it would be untouchable...now I'm not so sure. I'd hate to get it on this first bid, maybe even lineholder, then see senior guys come over the top of me and push me to reserve. Its about 3+50 drive from my house to DTW so reserve would be a pita. Maybe I wait and see how the bid awards or put in 50%.

Any guesses on what happens to the DTW755 cat? Does it grow, shrink, or stay the same? Seems pretty overmanned right now.

Totally off the AE subject, how does having a jumpseat reserved factor into the DAL-S commuting policy? Do you still need to have a backup that has seat availability that's more than two hours away to be protected? Seems kind of pointless to even book the jumpseat if that's the case.
