Maybe he can go back to his sailboat roots and educate them?

Um, retirements?

There are nearly 500 pilots that will turn 65 or be older than 60 with at least 25 years by DEC 31, 2018.

Not really sure. We can't know how many of those over 60 have put in paperwork to retire in December. Obviously, not all of those nearly 500 are going to retire, but with the seniority forecasting tools, it doesn't seem unreasonable to me that close to 200, including the 60-70 turning 65, will leave this year.

May sound like a dumb question, but how do you interpret the data on Seniority List Calculator on the ALPA site? It shows a bunch of 14's and 12's under Seniority Number and 0 and 1's on the Change. Thanks

I thought the same thing. He had two disclaimers in there about how the bid could change depending on how FY19 Business Planning continues. Really? How can they change the bid when Section 24.B.6 says "A System Bid may not be amended after it is published..."

I've been hearing through the rumor mill that FedEx will get an additional 4 777s this year.

How junior do you think narrow body and wide body Captain will go on this bid?
