Well darn skippy, looks like the intel was correct. Crap.

As I was told, they flying is going no where, the staffing is going to NYC in the 765's case and the 767 flying is going to the fat staffed DTW 755 (7ER post SOC) They added 60 slots to an over staffed 755 category in DTW last bid.

As I stated it makes sense as they will become ER pilots overnight at SOC and require none of the TOE/WWO crud that we southies do now.

We'll see. I've heard it may go and help the DTW 755 overstaffing situation from a certain reliable source. :) Regardless, another step to the elimination of the ATL767 category.

A briefing on it will be put out tomorrow... I'll relay as open information comes available.


And yep ACL, spot on as normal. :) How about some good spot on rumors that don't involve me possibly commuting?



Edit, PS, Add-on:

Someone asked earlier about when the southies will start flying the 753 Viagra Special. Full crossfleet flying (re: southies flying 5500/5600/5800 series 757s, northies flying bubba 757s and 767s) won't occur until single dispatch capability occurs which will be around April.

So will it be possible for a DAL-S M88 NYC guy to get based in DTW on this bid?

A330
 

Any word on the 330?
"Status Quo" for now or are they considering a base move to ATL/NYC on this AE?
I heard from a credible source we're getting a second Sim by Feb.

Doesn't it take a couple months to put one of those things together?

I would dearly love to see the 330 come to ATL on this bid....

I think DTWDC9B will always be a option :D

But yes, DAL-S can bid or be displaced to, any ex-NWA aircraft/bases, except the B747-400 on this upcoming bid.

Yes, but probably not on the 88

I have heard we have found sim time. When and where are still details that I want shored up.

I have no idea if this is a possibility, but there are other A330 sims in the world. It could be cheaper to DH people over to France/Germany/etc for training than purchase one right now.
