Having done it a few years ago, I never got bumped off a ATL-LGA flight. Ever. JFK all the time. EWR is the pits. CVG is hard. DTW loads have been stratospheric lately.

[quote=acl65pilot;725373]ACL, compared projected "22 D.3" report to current Jan2010 category in A320's

DTW
New 267A / 261 B
Jan 274A / 257B
change -7 A / 4 B

MEM
New 80A / 80B
Jan 87A / 77B
change -7A / 3B

MSP
New 307A / 321B
Jan 340A / 335B
change -33A / -14B

SLC
New 105A / 111B
Jan 0A / 0B
change 105A / 111B

Net Change
Losses -47A / -14B
Gains 105 A / 118B
Net 58A / 104B

So, SOMETHING is going on. How can you build a SLC category with 105A / 111B and only move out 47A/ 14B from the current categories?

Just for captains, 58 captains equates to about 8 aditional A320 aircraft! assuming 7 Captains per aircraft.

[QUOTE=PTCpilotDude;725418]The above is erroneous data. There are 92A and 92B being removed from SLC as they dissolve the M90 base.

You guys crack me up. My favorites so far are:

The hunt for white October

and

Grumpy Young Southern Men


Trust me all you ATL guys. It's not that bad in the Midwest. I'm a convert for nearly a decade now, and while the cold winters do suck by April, I'd rather live up here than back in ATL. It just took me a few years to realize it.

Now if we could just get an MKE base going......ACL see if you can put a word in

Net base changes from the current category list bid for Jan 2010 compared to the new bid projected 22 D.3 pilot staffing:

ATL -147A / -150B
CVG 12A / 12B
DTW -39A / -41B
LAX -9A / -8B
MEM -7A / 3B
MSP 9A / 65B
NYC 57A / 117B
SEA -25A / -7B
SLC 25A / 20B

Total system
-124A / 11B

Or -113 total pilots less manning.

Now we are fat in several categories now, so that is not surprising. But the changes in the bases is surprising, especially the extra 162 A320 positions they are creating.

[quote=PTCpilotDude;725418]I'm real confused too.......but that is normal for me:D

Does it have anything to do with the increased utilization projected for the 320 (7%?).

This stuff makes my head hurt, todays plan is to stay put as a 755B and wait to see how many 744Bs start the cascade........

I'm with Iceman, call your reps about call in honest vs call in stupid. The company can't move guys around (not everyone will pull kids out of school and wives out of high paying jobs) and keep it hard to commute. I'm all for RA having his cake and eating it too, but I think either the the sick call rate will go through the roof or cancels due to lack of crew will go up. NWA figured out a long time ago it was cheaper to get a guy to work sometimes than rebook a flight. We just have to get the bean counters to look at the models correctly. Oh, and no the flight attendents don't get it too.......there are more of them and they don't have our skill set. I love them all dearly (really) but they are different with respect to this issue.

[quote=Jack Bauer;725420]Jack,

The above data includes the M88 A and B displacements:

105 A320 captains added
-90 M88 Captains displaced
=====
25 new Captain positions

111 A320 f/o's added
-91 M88 f/o's displaced
======
20 new f/0 positions

now the data I'm using is the current published category list dated December 2010 as compared to the just published projected manning list from the 22 D.3 report on the crew resources website:

"Section 22 D.3. PWA Requirement December 2010 Pilot Staffing "

This is the most accurate data on what is happening. You can find these reports on the Pilot Resources and Scheduling section of the Flight Ops website.

So, I don't understand your comment of it being erroneous?:confused:

That's what I was after, the report times for Intl. Long call. So it is a 12 hr. leash on long call. I couldn't fina anywhere in the contract where it said a 24 hour long call.

Can that happen? Have they ever changed the AE posting? So they can say, "Hey..we need to put this GUM base in the AE, so everyone redo your preference!!!"

[quote=PTCpilotDude;725433]The december category list only has 90 SLC M88 captains and 91 f/o's. I suspect the difference is there are a few pilots no included due to NBL's or SIC/MIL/NBC status. But that is what the most current category list has as numbers. Therefore the basic gist of the data is saying what I posted, that 25 new captains and 20 new f/o's are beig added to SLC by this bid.

Crew Resources always gets a little flexibility when doing these bids anyways.
