Don't put too much stock in that approach. I was able to load SEA 320 before last Mays AE.

My bid on how many pilots will take the early out:
http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/a...id/temp8-2.jpg Yall know the rules, the player whose bid is closest to the actual retail price of the prize, or the number who will take the early out, without going over wins the prize and plays the next pricing game... guessing how many pilots retire in the next 5 years. |

SkyWest has 511 and covers more territory. Just pointing out traditional definitions are awfully blurry.

Regardless, I can't see ATL 330 and 320 not happening. Way too many departures and hotel rooms being used in town that aren't necessary with all the poodles flying through without a base here.
Supposedly the cost analysis of anticipated training for an ATL 330 base showed that they could continue to deadhead A330 crews in and out of ATL for 2 years and be cost neutral. I am guessing that did not include the reduced costs because of all the DV8 on the front end for a lot of those trips. ***END RUMOR CONTROL*** |

Pretty sure that if the airbii come in, others will be leaving.

One other thing about an ATL A330 base, and this is total guesswork, I looked at the flying originating and ending in ATL on the A330.
The Good: HNL - year round CDG - seasonal FRA - seasonal, so far 2 months then gone for 2011 DUB - seasonal, so far 2 months FCO - seasonal BCN - seasonal AMS - year round The Bad and the Ugly: ACC - seems to be full time A330 DKR - seasonal ABV via DKR ROB via DKR LOS - Feb thru October then back to 777 To achieve full savings of opening a base, I assumed that all trips starting and/or ending in ATL to be flown by ATL based pilots. (I had to start somewhere) My personal criteria is that I not be at risk for any MED flying during PBS runs. My conclusion is that I am going to let someone else bid ATL because the sheer amount of bad MED flying far outweighs the seasonal good stuff. Good news for you junior guys that want to bid it in ATL. I would rather have a bad commute than a bad destination. |

I have been trying the 320 and 330 in ATL for the last few days and it would not take it in the bids. Now it does!!!
