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. |

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.

Side thought, I recently heard that there may not even be a MEM DC9 base by the end of next year when they park the dc930/40's. |

They may or may not but what if a decent amount of people bid out of those positions? Wouldnt that cause an opening?

As a side note, I think the only hope for us out west is that we get the SEA flying. You guys in ATL are crying about 60 CA and FO positions maybe going away. What is that, maybe 2% of your flying? LAX lost about 10% in recent history. Not to mention SLC and CVG or remember DFW?
This will be the first pull down of ATL that I can remember, IF it actually happens. Come on guys "spread the wealth around." BD

Straight from the "horse's mouth," so to speak... the bid will be coming out on friday.
"Significant" displacement from ATL767 and ATL765. He is attending a briefing tomorrow and will put out information to the LCP's/AQFO's on that shortly after in anticipation of a flood of phone calls and emails .

Cold. DC-9s are going away, but the big losses on this bid will be in ATL. About half the 765 category moving to NYC, and about a third of the 767 category gone. There will be much carnage in ATL.
On the plus side if you are based in NYC expect to move up in the world. 1) Will the DTW 777 flying be 4-man or 3-man crews? That makes a big difference on the number of A's. 2) If I was trying to get rid of 767 domestic, then on every AE I too would have cuts. The question is and nobody has mentioned so I'm curious, will there be a ramp up of ER even if this AE shows no vacancies? Anotherwords, only people being MD'd will get in? Thats what I would do to save as much $ as possible on training. 3) As to the question about cutting ATL flying, if you look at CVG and NYC there seems to be a plethora of almost strict ATL pairings with their flying. I don't think they're cutting it, just if these negative rumors were right then spreading ATL flying out to all of the other bases. Just my thought. |
How much training do you think will be required to go MD88B -> DC9B?
A CD? Maybe a turn with a LCA? Thx |
4) What rumors are the training department guys hearing? Just expect lots and lots of events?
