If you do not want to be on the bottom, you can VD out of your seat. You freeze will go with you if you bid another 88 position. If you VD another position you will also get a freeze, but if you are MDed you will incur no freeze.

I suspect that a lot of pilots will VD out of the MSP88 since the category has not been brought up as many had hope. A lot of pilots are sitting reserve at a percentage that normally would not be considered reserve.

Again if you want out VD out, but be smart about it since it "appears" the next bid will cause even more movement, and you may get bumped without needed to VD. In the end bid what you want, want what you bid. With 12,000+ pilots anything is possible.

There's no way you'll be MD'd off of the MSP M88B 50 from the bottom. There may be 20 surplusses in your category, but most likely a few will come from above you and the rest below. It is of course always a good idea to have an MD bid in, but right now there aren't many places you can go any more junior. Generally, your VD bid will closely match your AE bid. If you're frozen, you can still be displaced but that won't happen in your situation. I'm no expert on how freezes work because I've never been frozen, but some of the other geeks on here will chime in shortly I'm sure. Good luck!

I think the company will save more money on hotel bills than on DH/rigs. The deadheads are not usually that inefficient on the backend because they usually don't require a layover. The trips I have been flying have had very little rig, but I don't fly Africa. It may not save them any rig money on Africa trips with really long layovers.

If they had to DH from somewhere other than DTW then maybe DH penalty would be more significant than lodging.

Did they announce it as full time 330? I missed that one...

Seasonally there is also FCO, MXP, CDG, LGW, LHR and rumored PRG. I probably missed some other Euro cities.

Edit: Found it in the schedule from Jun-Oct. Nov it goes back to 777. Have to track the westbound segment times on that one
for 12 hour compliance.

Packers fans who want to fly to the Super Bowl have another option. An airline has just added a nonstop flight from Green Bay to Dallas.

The Delta Airlines flight departs Green Bay at 2:30pm on Thursday February 3rd and will arrive in Dallas at 5:25pm.

The return flight is scheduled to depart Dallas after the Super Bowl, leaving at 1:10am Monday morning February 7th and arriving in Green Bay at 3:20am.

Guess who's/what's flying it? Imagine 50 cheeseheads on Comair... :eek:

I am sure they will upgrade it if there is a demand.

What they need to do is add a few flights from MKE. A ton of the fans live down that way.

An impressive history lesson from the R&I people just arrived in my email. Very well done, I must say so.

What do you expect from our R and I chair? EM boys are smart, and accountants to boot ! :D

Yes. I we all know how much Ts loves Tebow. :D

I agree that Lovie is a great coach and he should get a long term deal for what he did this year. Great job for the year and great job for the game. I still can't believe they didn't get blown out after Cutler went down.

As for Cutler, maybe I'm too protective of him today. But, to me it sucks that some Chicagoans are burning his jersey. The guy played in Minneapolis on concrete and they think he wimped out because of his knee. :mad:

KW and KBF are very good - shoot, they are all great. It was very readable and easy to follow. It could of been lots of tables and "see subparagraph A for details" kind of thing.
