Bid awards are out. They held quite a few on the 737 ... ACL, told you so bud ro! They need to staff for 2013.

If we're really staring at financial Armageddon in the first quarter of 2012, there will have to be a clean up bid. Oil will be cheap, meaning more MD88 love.

These work well and they are cheap'ish for ANC and long lasting build quality:

Sennheiser HMEC-46-B-K ANR Headset - MyPilotStore.com

I also use them when sitting behind an IO550. Uses the batteries up a little quicker under those conditions.
Also quite a few to the 330 with none out the bottom. More 330's and flying on the horizon?

To me, it's the early sign-in in LGA and late checkouts. It's the 10.5 hour three day trips. It's expensive hotels/crashpad/transportation in the New York City area.
Agreed. I would rather fly the DC-9 out of DTW than anything out of NYC. My first pick in NYC is the MD-88 to be as senior as possible. Luckily my name isn't on this AE, but I am pretty sure I am close to the plug in ATL now.

I saw that too. Is the 330 the new er?

Are you from SoCal? It's nothing like living in Atl. I'm from SoCal now living in Atl and it's very different. If you whine about the traffic in Atl then you'll have a heart attack from the traffic in LA. Bumper to Bumper at random times of the night. You should start watching The Real Housewives of Orange County to get a feel for it. Ha ha

Yeah I guess I Blocked out that stuff from when I was there on the 88.

Looks like I get to become a commuter. Hopefully it won't last too long. Memphis wasn't my first choice to live in, but it did grow on me

Oh well, 20 minute drives to work were nice while they lasted.

It sure seems like this company likes to waste money with excessive training events...7 new upgrade events to the 9.

They have to follow the contract. It requires a minimum staffing level in each category. If the union gave them a waiver which I heard was requested many on here would have been screaming it was a sellout.

Default M88 Headset?

Looks like a 4th airplane in 4 years for me. What headset do you 88 guys use? Will my Telex 850 work?

Thanks,
Grateful to be driving to work for at least one more bid
