No, not necessarily true. We have a lot of that on ATL MD88 B, albeit mostly the 40 year old version but still. The only problem is you're flying the MD88. They're not interested in you because obviously you're not good enough to do better. That's why they call this the modern day blue ball plane.

The predecessor being that PBY or whatever it was in WWII that always broke down prior to guys R&R.

Really, here are some pictures of some ATL MD88 Bs, would you want to join this group?

After all, it is Mecca.

ATL 320 will be no better fwiw.

80, they announced where the 330 will be going? Last I heard is Africa for week long layovers (none of that 30 hour 3 day crap), Syria, Yemen, JFK.

Those guys won't take the pay cut. All they have to do is one 12 day trip per month in DTW on the A330. They will follow it, retire, or go to the whale. They would lose $1600 a month going to the ER, or they can spend $50 on a hotel room the night before their 12 day trip. Tough choice? And they would have to spend a month in ATL in 767 school. Sorry, don't think so. Most are ready to retire, not ready to hit the books.

Anyone know why the Company commissioned the publication of a A320 to 737 training guide?

Is that for real?

That does make me go huh. 737 to a320 would be more in line with rumors/logic.

Can anyone tell me if the ATL 767 is still a category that we can bid? Or has it been converted to ER status?

Thanks,

There are no vacancies, but you could displace into that category. The ER conversion is on hold for now. My guess is that any 767/757/ER flying is going to get senior and result in displacement pin action down to the 737/320/MD88/90.
