My bet is the most junior position will indeed be NYC M88 B, due in part to the design of the SIL, followed by the DTW 9, but someone else may think this through better.

Most Junior
I think the NYC M88 B will be the most junior, but I'm not sure the DTW-9 will be the most junior. It is far easier to commute to DTW than NYC. I still think Most Junior...
0. DTW DC9 or (NYC M88 B)
1. NYC M88
2. MSP M88
3. CVG M88
4. ATL M88
5. CVG 73N
6. NYC 73N
7 DTW 320
It's hard to say what the DC9 DAL-N guys will do...

Covering 3 Airports does suck... NYC M88 B will probably be more junior to DTW DC9 B.
Here's what I guess after this AE:
0. NYC M88
1. DTW DC9
2. MSP M88
3. CVG M88
4. ATL M88
5. CVG 73N
6. NYC 73N
7 DTW 320

If I weren't getting MD'd out of my category, I'd stay put for as long as I could and see where the dust settles. This is only the first of alot of MOAB's to come and I don't think anybody should consider their move on this bid to be a long term stable option. Lots of us are gonna be shuffled around more than once the next couple of years. Most of those -9 guys have stayed put for awhile and probably will sit it out a little longer would be my guess. Those categories might even be more senior than some of the 88 categories, especially the MSP one.

On a side note, trying to type on a kids Crayola keyboard is a lot more difficult than it should be! (none of the key are in the right place....)

While this bid is primarily focused on increased utilization of our narrow body aircraft, it's important to keep in mind that this is our first shot out of the barrel, if you will, on a process that may take up to two years as we work with Network to realign where equipment needs to be based and the economy, specifically our revenue, change for the better.
What ACL was saying was that over the next two years you won't ever have to do a recurrent as you get signed off on every narrowbody aircraft in the fleet! I'm excited. I don't know which airplane I want to chose first. By the time we finish this journey we're all going to be more confused then Fathers Day in the ghetto.
Ugh... Beer. He taught me that one. He should get the infraction, not me.

US, Japan forge open skies agreementUS, Japan forge agreement allowing flights between countries to operate more freely
- By David Koenig and Harry R. Weber, AP Airlines Writers
- On 10:40 pm EST, Friday December 11, 2009
The U.S. and Japan have reached a landmark agreement to relax limits on flights between the two countries.
Under the agreement announced late Friday, airlines from both countries would be allowed to select routes and destinations based on consumer demand for both passenger and cargo services without limitations on the number of U.S. or Japanese carriers that can fly between the two countries or the number of flights they can operate.
It would remove restrictions on capacity and pricing, and provide unlimited opportunities for cooperative marketing arrangements between U.S. and Japanese carriers.
The agreement likely will prompt Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways to seek joint ventures with U.S. airlines.

I don't really know if this is good or bad, or both.
