No kidding. We need better food options as well. I keep hearing rumors about upgrades but don't see it happening. Terminal 6 has much better choices. I think there's a Starbucks over there.

MEM320B went to a bottom guy also, were seats left unfilled in MEM?

Of the present 97 slots in NYCM88F/O, there will be 32 unfilled by the end of the training on this AE.

There's far more open slots up in MSP on the M88 and they actually had a vacancy out for those positions meaning they want bodies there.

We have no idea how many they actually want to backfill in NYC (especially with all the NYC expansion delays, they might hold off on filling it to the max) . They knew guys would leave.

I'd say things are looking pretty darn good for a new hire if they wanted to avoid NYC or at least make it a short stay.

MSP had more unfilled slots than NYC i think. It appears that mem320 and NYC73n had unfilled spots also. Newbs could go anywhere, and it may not even be to the dc9 or m88 either

I hope you are right but i am wondering about the lifespan of the 320 in MSP. I am starting to think it is going to get smaller as the 88/90 plus up. I hope I am wrong and if you ask my wife I am most of the time so who knows. I do know there are is a lot of 320/319 flying out of LGA and no base

They're going to move us down to where the maintenance guys are now. Supposed to happen relatively soon. We'll even have windows!

Now, if we can just get the frikkin WiFi to work.

My time in NYCM88F/O is slowly coming to an end. Last night, we landed at LGA around 1130pm. Then I drove 2+30 hours back to PA. Screw that.

On the last AE, I was able to score a position outside of NYC and I'm extremely happy. Good luck to the new hires, well at least some of you. The NYC right of passage awaits you.
