Again assuming a vast majority those 2015 hires are going to take the upgrade at first opportunity, which is not likely. Also, wasn't there talk about an additional 20 50's for 2017 or something like that?

I think the assumption is, there isn't gate space in NYC for another 20 200's. Sure, if all the upgrades are NYC, people won't be interested in it as much (myself included, no way would I commute to NY for reserve). But if those 20 200's that are rumored for 2017 are anywhere but NYC, its going to open up stuff system wide, at least on the 200, in my opinion.

All that and a buck gets you coffee at LGA.

Who would of thought LGA has one of the best deals in the country. It is good coffee too, a tad on the over roasted side but still good. I wonder if refills are free now that is it self serve?

How long is reserve? What are the reserve rules?
Am interested in 9E but it'd be lateral move; therefore I want to be sure it's worth it.
What would the chances be for getting a -900? (Don't care about base- would be able to move)
Coming in with ~800 part 121 hours (and 3500 total from part 91) what would upgrade be running?

No they release seat locks if someone with 0 company hours get a captain position. Next time around.

Hopefully the reserve captains quit bailing and/or some new ones are allowed to replace them... DTW and MSP are quite clearly shrinking to lifer only status

Yea really! I thought DTW would be very junior but I'm starting to see/fly with a lot of lifers out of there. Especially on the -900.

Has anyone here been in longterm or upgrade training in late November? If so, how does the training department treat Thanksgiving? Are we stuck in class or do we get to go home?

Last year for initial we had Thanksgiving and the day after off, class on Saturday and Sunday. They treated it as a weekend where you could positive space home, time allowing.

I believe per contract that is a guaranteed day off during long term along with Christmas and New Year day. Other holidays are fair game to train on.
