No disrespect meant.
Why is that? Those are an irrelevant metric. More impressive is that 9XXX went to the whale...

For example, I don't know if the projected headcount for the NYC M88 A changed, but I assume a few went out, and noone came in.

Pretty confusing, at least to me.
Yeah I thought it was strange with the 14 out and 14 in thing, the cutoff being so high for the final awarded slot, and 12 guys bidding the MSP DC-9 over the Maddog if there were slots (maybe they didn't want to be seatlocked so they could bid the bus later who knows) but it could just be that with all the Airbus slots open there just wasn't any more love for the old Maddog.

You and Super are probably right.

Trying to figure out what happens next used to be something I enjoyed, but now it just gives me a big headache .

Default fNWA NYC 767-400?

Saw a couple of NYC765 CA get 747CA. I would have guessed that they were fNWA CA (would have to be) So how is it that they would get to break a freeze and get the 747CA...And when would they have been awarded the 767-400...last bid? Can anyone say..training churn?

Sink. Look at the 22D.3 Report. It shows their projected staffing in each seat at the end of this conversion window. You are correct is noting that there are a lot of narrowbody seat reductions on this bid, and there is a reason for it.

See if the chatter you guys are hearing can put two and two together on this!

I just checked. Most of them were previous 755 guys, and as mentioned, had a 9 month freeze for the conversion to 765, which expired 1 Oct.

I resemble that remark... Is it too early to enter my MD for the next bid?

We're going to merge? We're going to give more big aircraft to the regionals? We're going to hire and increase the narrow body staffing back up next year? I'm not very good with math. I know that 2+2=4, but I'm struggling to make sense of it. Can you just tell us?

I've flown with a couple of them, they had a 9 mos. freeze eff. 01Jan2010 because they were 7ER (755) guys before the 765, their freeze was up 01Oct10.
