Your domicile, not any domicile. It has bitten many reserves.

Most of the time they will take you off of the trip and reassign you the balance immediately. There must have been a reson they did not.

Sorry, just thinking out loud.

Johnso, I think there will be MASSIVE MDs into the 9. I can't see them forcing anybody out. This is gonna be, IMO, a massive downward flush of categories and bases. I doubt that many except the most senior 10% won't be touched. I have friends and family members very senior who are looking to be displaced. Not to be a downer, but I think its only realistic. Thats why I'm prepping to move the family and commute for a very long time (or until my next book comes out, whichever occurs first). ;)

Hope that next book goes Platinum!

Where would you move, Green Bay? ;)

Bid could be bad or real bad. It just depends on how closely the company sticks to the staffing report.

Buzz,

What are people going to be MD'd off into the DC9? The DC9 category is shrinking. There will be much more room on the 737's, 320's, and MD88's.

It really depends on the bid, how ppl bid and where the holes are. The guess would be that there would be some holes on the 88, and 9. We shall see.

I agree, and that is why I moved.

So if you are going to move, where will it be too? The Republic of Texas if not GRB?
