12yr upgrade at jb now.

Come one come all! Bring us your poor your sick your DUI’s.


Na, it’ll shake out after a few bids. 73% upgrade wasn’t natural.

With the pay difference no longer justifying the QOL gains guys experienced from being senior on the 190 this was bound to happen. It’s probably going to take a few hundred 320 upgrades for the new normal to materialize.

4 year upgrade on the 190 will probably continue that way as guys keep jumping ship. The airplane will still be on property for another 5 years or so, but eventually they will have to hold people on the 190 and pay them bypass pay rather than having the training churn that comes with a dying fleet.

It’s going to be an interesting few years on these bids.

Everyone talking about staffing planes...

September 2019 is the first new bid.

So June 2019 should be the last old style bid.

Oh! That explains everything! We're buying a dozen multi-million dollar aircrafts per year and just not flying them. Genius!

If you are referring to cabin refresh, once they take the first 4 (or however many they work on at a time) out of service for refresh, it's just a rotating 4 out of service. So every single small vacancy bid can't be about cabin refresh.

Are those the effective dates for the bids or when the bid will come out? For example we should have another bid this Dec, March, with June being the last?

The annual bid will be effective on January 1st of the following year. Whether that is fully trained or starting training is the question.

With the recent "changes" to the building of pairings this has never been more important.
