Default MD90s

Hey Gang,

The weekly update for jan 6th talked about getting 21 MD90s over the course of the year. Something like half before summer and then half over summer/fall.
The march crew resources update sounds like we'll be getting 8 more on top of that... Is that what you guys read? I hope we didn't suddenly go from 20 more MD90s to 8. Is flight ops hiding some 90s from crew resources or what


"As we look to 2013, the current plan is for eight more M90’s to enter service with 737-900 deliveries beginning
in summer 2013. In order to be adequately staffed for their arrival, we may need to remove some of the
surpluses we currently have on the 747, 777, 765 and 767 on the March AE. While a decision has not been
finalized, our current staffing levels will need to be adjusted to meet the demands from these deliveries."
from the march update

On the November AE, we added 25 MD-88 Captains and 32 MD-88 First Officers system wide. Although there may appear to be a surplus now, get ready because the Mad Dog’s hours are scheduled to be flat year-over-year for January and then increase by 7% in February, 9% in March and 10% in April. The remainder of the year will see double digit year-over-year growth, with 20+% growth currently scheduled for the months of the fourth quarter. This is primarily driven by the increase in the number of MD90’s. This month we have 29 aircraft, which increases to 41 in June and 50 in December.

My understanding is that it's 20 this year and another 8 in 2013, Kargo.

Just curious, for those of you with brokerage link accounts, do you have an account set up for both the DC and DPSP, or just one?

You need to set up two. Same paperwork, just a different name for each plan.
