There won't be much movement on this bid. I suspect there will not be a lot of backfilling of vacancies. Not heading into the winter season. Salt Lake City will end up much more senior. I predict only about 60 of the currrent SLC 767 captains will end up SLC 7ER captains.

Panic mode selector - ON for Delta West.
Just heard from a friend who's friend has a buddy in crew resources.
The intel is - the way people are bidding half of the current SLC767 drivers in both cats will not be able to hold SLC7ER.

I don't know who your friend knows but you can go to DBMS and it has a function that tells you how many people senior to you have a bid in for a certain seat. I would currently be 79 out of 98 in the SLC domestic 767 category and there are only 65 people senior to me with bids in for the SLC 7ER category. So if the bid closed today my seniority would actually be better than the dometic seniority.

). Don't forget to factor in the chance that pretty much all the current domestic side in both seats probably will only bid an MD into the SLC 7ER category vice an AE and so are not listed on the page that shows people senior to you. You may not be as senior as you think!

Check E taught me this (I think).

Guys,
This is a net positive bid. If guys are coming from all over the system to bid SLC - then there will plenty of positive movement elsewhere. SLC may go more senior, but only if other bases go more junior. Or am I missing something?

I don't think this is the AE where people will be rewarding for dreaming big. If you cancel out the two disruptive events (the SLC 767 displacements and the new SLC 7ER category), you're left with relatively few new WB positions. And I think those are only there to allow displaced SLC 767 people from creating secondary displacements. IOW, they'll let them go where they want, and allow those categories to be slightly larger.
I still don't believe the doom and gloom that Southies are predicting in SLC.
