EDV LECs have recently been inviting DL reps to LEC meetings. The idea is to foster a stronger relationship between EDV ALPA and DALPA. Sounds like progress is being made on this front.
On the 900 side, firebreaks suck, but they stretched out duty periods. That probably led to more trips to cover all of the flying. Gauging by the pairing numbers, there are 104 less NYC 900 trips in May than April. All of those extra trips probably required more lines in April.
On the 200 side, only the LGA side shrunk. They're introducing the 700 in LGA next month. Maybe some of that flying went there? JFK has about the same number of pairings.

Some guesses, based on the bid packs:

If there is a aircraft swap it will be 5 days of ground. Staying in and type just 3 days of ground. 3 days of difference or 1 day of systems. Then two days of captain leadership. Go in the systems ready to pass a systems test. Limitations and basic knowledge mostly. Captain leadership is a snooze fest. You’ll do your cat ii and dg test too. Then either 1 or 2 days of FTD. One maneuvers lesson and your MV. 2 lofts and then your LOE. Usually two trips of OE then. Start to finish it was less than a month. Sims are bid for by seniority in captain leadership. They just pass around a piece of paper with different schedules. Overall upgrade wasn’t hard at all.
