Exactly. Don't feed the bugs: stay out of New York. We'll drive over the bugs to cover the flying.

Yall ever look at this website?

The Aviation Herald

You can learn a lot about your airline from it. Like I didn't know we had an A320 that had the 90 degree off nose wheel landing like the Jetblue 320 in LAX?

Just talked to a couple of MSP 320 guys on the commute to NYC. The FO was a 3/03 hire and was happy to see that the bottom 50 guys in DTW are junior to him. That CA lamented the fact that the old WB CAs are never going to leave. Both said that a lot of the MSP senior people are local and would not follow the plane to ATL. Also said they weren't going to retire either. The consensus was that they would just flow to the ER in MSP. Anyone have a computer model on how that will cascade throughout the system?

That's a better option than having them displace 744 guys, which many of them can do... Both A's and B's.

What about the ER? Can you hold that? 24 hour short call sucks but that may change. You may get lucky!

I've got that bid in, but right now there is no one in that category jr to me. I doubt I can hold it. Worth a try though!

Had an A-line tell me that ATL-HNL is going to down gauge from A330 to 7ER starting in August.

Of course I immediately checked delta.com and it shows A330 through the end of the year.

If that RUMOR turns out to be true, the ATL330 flying is going to look ... yellow feverish...buggy...DEETy,,, but I was unable to confirm.
