Two questions ----what is going on in SEA and whatever happened to the increased MD-90 fleet?

Ferd. Go bid a number. With bidding number 20 in MSP, I bet you could bid number 30 and be fine. If you really want it, just bid with no % or number.

In SEA they are getting ready for a very big base.

We will see up wards of 50 md-90's in the next few years.

So we will be hiring again? :D

I am sure we will hire before you and I retire!

I knew it, looks a lot better now doesn't it? :D

Or, there will be financing for the 1st in, but not the next one. Or, the first 2 in.

Or none at all.

Or limited bailout.

Or no bailout.

Or merger.

Or no merger.

Or fragmentation.

Or no fragmentation.

Or route sales

Or no route sales

Or maybe GM will buy us

I think it all hinges on PRIP participation. Last week was apx 40. Will need about 150 to avoid displacements. Of course DAL may just absorb the excess over one or two categories.

Of course it does. I do not think that we will have the numbers they need to totally nullify a displacement though.
We will also need more bodies on the 88 for the increased flying we will be doing.

I heard about 48. We will see how many will file in the last few days.

Sink, ACL.........thanks, makes since. I think that is where the majority of the NRT 75/76 flying will go. Had a SEA commuter from HNL on the jumpseat a few days ago, he loved the base. The comutter hotel sounds like a dump, but there are great places to eat in the area.

We are all one big happy family in the south satellite there in SEA. Place was crazy busy, no more sleepy backwater! Today is the day for the big move at LAX, anyone done that one yet?
