Class Drops
 

Since classes may (or may not) be running twice a month going forward, thought it might be useful to put this under it’s own thread instead of separate interview groups.

I know there is a 6/20 class, did one also start today?

Yeah a buddy of mine started today. Mostly Airbus I think.

Think it was all JFK
6 320
2 190

Says bid has 22 upgrades
39 fo slots

The NEXT bid (or is it the next next next bid) is gonna be yuuuggge!

Dude! Didn’t you see? MCO has like 2-3 openings in each aircraft and seat. That’s yuuuuge!

Oh-yeah!!!!

And we'll be able to staff BOTH A320 deliveries over the next 6 months!!!

To put that into perspective, it's 0.6% movement. Less than 1%. But we are not stagnant according to some on here.

I know, and someone just brought that stupid debate up again in a snarky way.

It's the difference they want to argue between LITERALLY stagnant and PRACTICALLY SPEAKING stagnant.

Whatever. My position, practically speaking, we are stagnant.

If someone wants to go Webster's on that statement, I just don't GAF.

.6%, enough said.

13 airbus upgrades
21 E190 upgrades

I see what you did there!

But still only 21 total upgrades.

Wow I may move up 2 or 3 spots on the 190. Movement!!! Yeeeesssssss!

New system bid update 2.0 released.

Makes more sense!

What’s in the update?

Just to play devils advocate. What % will the big 3 move in the next 3 months? Do we know? Someone knows.

Basically 60-ish 320 vacancies and zero 190 vacancies. Quite a change from 20 minutes before.

Heard two E190s taken out of service and won't be coming back.

Giggity!

Something fishy is going on. 190 pilot....I've had 6 flights pulled from my schedule weeks in advance. Airbus open-time has a bunch of 4-leg day trips that the 190 would fly.

Intel from the other site is that 2 (maybe 3) 190s are down with wing spar issues. Word is this is a new issue and EMB hasn't come up with a solution yet....

So, C series it is then. Anyone know if we still have warranties on those?

:eek:

Not just emb hasn't come up with a solution, they said it's your planes you fix them. Pretty much tried and washed their hands of the issue

Is this the GFYS from EMB? due to a bye bye to the 190?


oh please please please :eek: puddy is spooging his pants lol.

I would not be surprised

That's my guess. Just what a maintenance guy said emb told them.

Something this important won't deter us from buying the E2 for a second.

I hear XJT is looking for work. I’d love to take the summer off😆

Hey - who’s spying on me???? ;)

If we go CSeries, everyone will be happier with the airplane - pilots will love the room up front and the automation (sidesticks yay!), the pax will love the new ergonomics (huge bins, huge windows and big lavs) vs the “stretched E170” and Robin will appreciate the versatility of the airplane - MCO-BOI or FLL-PDX are possible with the CS300 just like the typical BOS-JFK-DCA shuttle. Swiss flies them on 30 minute shuttle flights to Paris as well as 4-5 hour flights across Europe. You get more options and flexibility with the CSeries.

Who knows what will happen? Hopefully we’ll hear more soon.

Yeah! And, and, we can fly them for 15% less than Delta! Robin will be THRILLED!

I was wondering what was going on. I've had a couple legs pulled as well. Good god if these things have spar issues, or other underlying issues this company would be insane to not dump the Brazilian trash back into the jungle and go get some C series.

Can you guys imagine if the company had to place 320's on a significant portion of the 190 routes? I can just imagine the bloodbath when they ask for help from this group after the news in the last union blast.

My wish for the summer if the language isnt resolved in a week.
Terrible job by B6 this week. Shocker ;)

A week? They’ve had 4. They need to fix this in the morning. Any slight good will they may have bought just went up in smoke

Im with ya. Im out of patience as well- But NOT with the union.
With B6.

B6 fillabustering to use time as a weapon is a given for any adversary.

B6ALPA being foolish and naiive not to know this and not to act on it is inexcusable. Had it been me, I would've had Information Operations mobilized Day 1 ALPA got on property and not ending until we got a contract with Pay & Rules commensurate a professional pilot. They CHOSE to cancel the informational picket for whatever reason. Vietnam comes to mind... North Korea and Iran playing the US while they develop nukes comes to mind...

But... RJ mentality people at BJ always fall for RJ management tactics since they don't know better. Carry on defeatists, apologists, and low rent regional mentality pilots... you're getting what you deserve from BJ.

This communique is for entertainment purposes only. It does not implicitly or explicitly acknowledge employment with any air carrier nor is any relationship implied. This communique does not represent the opinions or policies of ALPA or JB ALPA and does not represent the collective pilot group, ALPA, nor does it imply collective bargaining, advocacy, or workforce actions intended to disrupt operations.

Anyone know what the assignments were from today’s class?

Don’t know about today and not sure if anyone posted the latest unfilled system bid results

Staffing to be filled based on December bid....

JFK320FO - 29
BOS320FO - 6

JFK190FO - 13
BOS190FO - 15
