Wow. Lots of unexpected stuff in weekly update. And no C series on the April AE - shocker... displacements and VB. Lots to discuss.

I am hearing Nov in service date. That would mean a May bid.

Are we inadvertently getting “our” wish for monthly AE’s then? Temporarily anyway?

Looks like another dud with no narrowbody A’s — and with 88 displacements. Lovely.

It is amazing they can manage to continue to only offer new hire bids. Oh and i forgot the steady stream of 350 captains they need to fill the pipes... not mad, a little impressed.

Well with so many ways to exceed the pick up limit we can get by with fewer Captains.

It's plainly obvious what they're doing. Saving narrowbody vacancies for 88 displacements -- just like last year. Huge savings in the long run.

Correct. They are going to get a read on where guys go before they open vacancies.
