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

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.

This will be the first pull down of ATL that I can remember, IF it actually happens. Come on guys "spread the wealth around."

"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 .

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?
