When the bid comes out the best guess for the plan will be on the 22D report. Compare that to the current staffing levels and you will have your answer.

Might be other reasons for it too! Yes, I told you:rolleyes:
A good amount of flying out of MEM is done with DC9s and if the 30/40s are gone then something has to replace that lift or it has to be shifted elsewhere. The regionals arent getting more planes so that shouldnt be the answer and its rumored that CPZ is shifting a lot of their ops to LGA next year so that brings up ALOT of Questions as to what the plans for MEM are. |

How much training do you think will be required to go MD88B -> DC9B?
A CD? Maybe a turn with a LCA? Thx |

A CD? Maybe a turn with a LCA? No FMS. No FMGS (or whatever you call the pretty lights on the panel) No VNAV No autoland And that's just what I know from flying the -9 at another carrier and jumpseating on the Mad Dog. |

I think, given the quotes below, given that we know 50% of the 765s to NYC and if Xray is right 1/3 of the ATL 767 group then you're looking at around 300 seats. Thats about 8% of ATL. But thats a guess looking at bid packages.
--- 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. 1) DTW will be flying HKG, PVG, and ICN.... all 4 man rotations. 2) That is a possibility- I am hearing no vacancies on the ATL ER despite the chunk coming out of the domestic. 3) That is pretty much what is happening.... |
Why has ATL 767 dwindled so much? I thought we had a bunch of 757s in the desert. They have taken a hit on every bid that I have seen. Why do they do that instead of making it an ER catagory with tons of domestic time?

I suspect a full course, but I really have no idea. The DC9 has:

If the economy had not tanked like it did, it would have required a lot more training to do. It has been fairly painless this way. Also I would not be overly surprised to see another 767 category go away or get converted. Just a guess on my part. |
