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.

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.

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

wow displacements. I was displaced to the DC9, do you think they will train me on it even though they are getting rid of them?

And ATL goes more and more senior...

Man why is the ER so junior in NYC? I got displaced off the 88B in ATL to the ER in NYC and I'm below 11,900

Because it is somewhat difficult to commute to reserve up there. But, congratulations, you will LOVE the jet, where it goes and the pay raise. When Air France implodes, you'll be in a good spot.

It doesn't seem like they did a very good job at averting a huge training footprint.

12 month conversion window. More DC-9 displacements to follow. They might not ever go.

I saw you on there. Wondering the same thing myself :D

Looks like quite a few behind you though. If you can hold a line, then maybe not such a bad deal. If I get bumped into commuting on the next bid, I may seriously consider NYC for the relative seniority bump.
