I called my airline employers from past and present and got all my attendance records fairly quickly. Good luck.

I'm not sure if I'm remembering this right, but are the 717 people being sent to Miami for SIM? If so, company pays for the hotel down there right?
1 sim is in MIA and the other 2 are in Atlanta. If you are sent to MIA then Delta pays for the hotel and you will earn per diem.

Guess the NYC717B manning issue has been solved. 😆

Yeah. They solved it by inverse assignment robo-calls at midnight each night.

Indoc next Monday the 13th and have been watching the recent drops closely...
Looking for input:
1. Assuming that LAX will NOT be in the drop next week, what might be decent plays to get based in LAX quickly? (I live in San Diego and car commuting to LAX for my current airline is nice)
1.a. What are generally the better bases for commuters from SAN or SNA? Looking for input on both ease of commute as well as QOL. (As a commuter I'm all about getting used on RSV)

There is significantly less open time this month than last. Still a lot more than everybody else, but we may have transitioned from chaos to just short manned.

1 - Get a 717 or 737 spot since they are based in LA. That way you will at least have a shot at AEing out there before your year seat lock is up.

2 - No clue, but I fly SNA and SAN out of ATL quite a bit and I'd say we are more likely to have a jumpseater out of SAN than SNA. That is obviously just a small sampling of the true story, but that's my observation.

I hope this has not been covered here before. But I am trying to get some insight to length of trip, routes or general QOL of the 73N vs 320 out of NYC.

The 737 seems to have more turns and more red eyes.

Also, if you get the right group you have a built in study group - no big issues with my crash pad during training.
