No, the Asventure is what the general consensus will be around ATL on Jan 4th with the awards are posted.

Bid is out. We voted for it. It will suck for many that cannot sell in this economy, but hey maybe we will learn.

Bid what you want, want what you bid.
ACL, et al,

Gentlemen,

PLEASE, PLEASE, do not sell your homes and chase the flying. Those of you who own property in ATL, IF you are displaced, man up and commute until the flying (or your senority) allows you to return. The flying will always return to Mecca. Commuting bites! No doubt about it. Like Bar, I never applied to NWA. When they bought REP, I got bounced to DTW in very short order. I survived and so will he and you. If however, you insist on chasing the flying, then I suggest you buy your next home from Clayton and keep the wheels for the next big AE.

P.S. Bar, I never applied at DAL either.

And neither did I, but I may end up in NYC covering 3 of the largest turd airports in the country.

Bar, I've got nothing but love for ya brother but your whining is not justified. If you don't want to come to DTW then go to NYC. That was a base when you applied at DAL, wasn't it?

Go for the gusto and bid 777A. I am. Just think when you get bumped the next bid you could go back to 73Nb at 200 an hr. That is like Green Slips every day you work
Don't forget, all pay protection ends on Halloween Day 2011.
By the time you got trained and converted from this bid and then got bumped on the next bid (Aug?) and retrained and converted, etc. etc. there will be no more pay protection.

Say what you want about DTW, but it's not a bad commuter base. I've seen plenty worse. Plenty of cheap hotel rooms ($37 out the door/night) and things usually run on time - at least more so than NYC which helps keep the commuting nightmare to a min.

Popeyes however just lost a customer. Over $10 for a chicken strip combo. This po' boy can't afford to eat there anymore. Back to Taco Bell.

I do not chase flying. Just going to go to a place that holds a good sked.

I am not looking to stay in ATL, nice place but I am OK leaving.
