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

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.

OMG!!! What have I done to myself!!!!!

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

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.

Yep. Hoping I can hang onto the base until 2017 when the "pilot shortage" arrives

I think between the 12 month conversion window. More DC9 displacements imminent, more -90's on the way, and no hiring next year there are probably a fair amount on this award that are not done moving yet even before they ever go to training especially for those low on the totem pole.

It probably depends on each situation. Which aircraft your getting displaced from/going to, how senior you are, what happened to others in your category, etc .
