We know that flying would still exist, just at the mainline level, where there could be unity between small-jet and big-jet drivers.

Good post.

So, you want this CR7 scoped to St.Croix because you guys at Pinnacle don't have CR7s? Is that right? Or is it because you plan to go there in May and want more seats available to non-rev?

Anything over an hour in an RJ sucks from a PAX point of view, no matter how big the number is after the dash.

I was curious since it says we have 0 furloughs on here. Thought maybe they all went to Emirates or something. :p

Hey Guys,

Looks like I am going to DTW with this last displacement bid (AE). Thinking of renting a small townhome or apartment within two hours of the airport. I am planing on bidding reserve and I need a place with a garage, as I am a gearhead. I have a few bikes and a snowmobile or two and my plan is to turn a wrench while on call. I am thinking Ann Arbor or Novi areas, as I don't really want to be in the hood. I have a lot invested in tools & toys, so a safe area is a must. Just starting my search, so if you have any ideas, post or PM.

Thanks

I haven't moved up there yet but I am looking and my wife and I really like Novi. It is not as trendy as Ann Arbor, but it has some unique places to eat and drink. Novi is close to other nice areas like Northville and even Plymouth. I'm going to check out Royal Oak soon. If you don't mind gays I've heard it is a really cool area to be.

The deadline to extend the bypass has past. DAL has sent out notices to those that have not filed paperwork stating they have an intent to return when hiring resumes. Those that turned down that offer have been removed from the seniority list.

Nothing shocking here.

I just hope no pilot is removed from the list who has a desire to return. I guess everyone has some responsibility to stay informed, but hopefully they were notified to give their intent to return or not, prior to being removed.

I think you're saying this is what happened. Correct?

If you find something and are looking for some crash padders let me know. Post something in the DTW Crew room. I've been displaced to DTW on the ol' 9 and am looking for a crash pad away from the airport. I can't stand the idea of 6 short calls from a dumpy hotel or pad near the airport.

It means that if they are VD they have chosen to convert last, and if an MD they want to covert first.

Yep, as it was told to me, they have gone past the date, and are only removing those that they have made contact with.

I didn't notice any big jump in seniority so I'm guessing that most are still on the list.
