As per Lum’s email.

Any idea on dates/ amounts?

Discuss.

Is this the bid that winds down mco e190, and moves to fll e190? Hmmm

You shut your mouth…

I’m praying not.

My guess is attrition is just a tad bit higher than expected. 18 in 21 days.

I’m not expecting many captain spots.

I think that would require a displacement bid which they said this is not. Also would that require them to open a “new base”?

There were several junior guys who were awarded Capt on the 190 last bid who have left to the DL, AA, and UA. I'm willing to bet there will be some JFK 190 Capt. spots

4 320 sims and 2 220 sims added. Miami/QC. Should help this bid

JB added 4 320 sims to the companies FAA approved simulator list, and 2 a220 sims. I have no idea how the list works. Maybe it’s sims that we have purchased for future delivery? I was thinking maybe this was due to them acquiring more delivery slots or maybe outsourcing for more hiring than our sims can handle?

JB got its 5th 320 sim in early 2018 I believe. The 6th came at some point after that…I think shortly before the first A220 sim came. The 2nd A220 sim came in December, and a new (7th I believe) 320 sim has been delivered in parts for the last month or so. Additionally, the 3rd 190 sim (I believe it’s the same one JB used to own, but sold several years ago) that is in Dallas was added to the list since we are renting sim time there. But, I don’t see 4 new 320 sims added to the list. I see the list of 6 total 320 sims, 2 a220 sims, and 3 190 sims, and I think a 7th 320 sim should be up and added soon. These have been planned for some time and are in line with standard deliveries and growth. That’s not to say there won’t be additional aircraft deliveries (or deferrals). But I don’t see any added sim capacity outside of what has been planned for a while, and it’s on small incremental numbers matching the existing fleet/order book. But maybe you’re seeing something I’m not.

We’re training in Miami? Since when?
