I don’t think there were really that many vacancies on this in order to push captain upgrade that low. Standard 4 years for 190, 5-6 for Bus.

Yeah with the previous system you could sorta know what to expect. With this you have to just put in a percentage bid and hope. It allows for more control, but much like PBS if you don’t know how to use it you probably don’t get the best you could.

This bid will go way junior in both AC. I know a few senior guys who don’t want to commit to upgrade, to the benefit of jr guys who will slide in.

Yes I do know that. At time of award yes. Just taking my stab at where I think it’ll go at the end of the bid. Happy to be way off, then I might get what I’d like. :)

I agree. I bet the -20+ number for 190 CA in Boston will scare off many people that were planning to bid for it otherwise.

ATL-JFK or ATL-BOS?

Atl bos imo just for the fact that we have the only base in bos and any delta guys in Boston go to nyc more then likely

Anticipation station? Knowing these clowns, it’ll probably be delayed because of Dorian or unrest in PR. I can’t believe they waited all 21 days. Actually, yes I can. I’m patiently waiting my fate also.
