For once I'm glad we use the other Moscow airport, SVO. A bomb there might improve it.

I think if DAL was not going to compromise before to give in to SWA I seriously doubt theyre going to do this now post the SWA/AAI windfall merger. I think the DOT wants to settle.

Look at the 330 rotations out of MSP that do flying out of ATL.
Look at the parings that do a significant flying out of ATL. Many of then have DH's in the paring. Point is that if they can relocate a category and save on those DH's it is a savings of not just money but pilot positions.
As for the size of these rumored categories, who knows. The 320 does a ton of NYC flying too, but there is not talk of a base up there. It all comes down to the most efficient place for a crew to start and end a trip.

In addition, look at the non-seasonal destinations (for now) for the 330 out of ATL and you will see ATL-HNL, ATL-AMS and ATL-DKR-LAD. The rest of the flying has so far moved around between fleets, so depending on base size ATL based pilots may get the bulk of DKR/LAD flying and if may be the biggest percentage of their flying.

From: Right hemisphere of DCFranken9's brain
I have a question about the AE. I have looked through most of the information I was given, but still hazy. I am an MSP 88 B. I am about 50 from the bottom and in a freeze until Jan of 2012. So, after seeing the bid which included 20 surpluses in my catagory. With that said, what is the best way for me to bid. If I bid a VD, that means I take an MD from someone jr to me, Right? If I MD what does that mean. I figure it wont really matter, but just want to make sure how to bid. Thanks.

A lot of those DH pairing for the 330 in and out of ATL also include ATL layovers. If there is a ATL base those patterns will have to rebuilt as shorter patterns that do not include ATL layovers. That might deter some FL commuters since there would be a lot of shorter trips that might not be same day commutable (at least not without some anxiety) on the front end.

We have long said that DAL hates DH and when they can they will move jets and pilots to get away from the rotations that pay on trip rig.

I just downloaded my w2's and they are split in half. i.e. the top of one is on top then a complete w2 then the bottom half of the top one. Hope that makes sense. Anyone else have that problem?
