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.
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.

I agree, the flying will more towards three and four day trips which is what DAL prefers. The shorter trips pay hard time and not 3.5 to 1 trip rig thus saving them the money of the trip rig and the DH credit. It will allow them to do more with less. I do beleive that is the number one driver in moving the jets and making the pilots go though the training pipeline.
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.

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.

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.

Tsquare would tell you that you shouldve drafted tebow!
I'll put it this way, the Bears don't get enough credit for what theyre able to accomplish despite their QBs. I mean youve got to be a special coach to get a team to the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman at the helm. But youre right, talk about exceeding early expectations, they hosted the NFC Championship! Youre coach should not be on the hotseat anymore.

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.
