Junior Airbus is 12/5/2013 hire date.

Junior 190 is 11/13/2013 hire date.

 

Thanks.
I didn't expect them to be less than a month apart.

 

Only 30 numbers apart from each other. 2413 was the junior 190 and 2443 Airbus.

 

Have most new hires been getting the Airbus lately?

 

The majority yes.

 

Yes, but it's dependent upon how many vacancies are on each airframe. People aren't bidding off of the E190 in huge droves, so most vacancies are on the A320.

Post-award there are 92 A320 vacancies to be filled by March 2018. (87 JFK, 5 BOS)

There are 45 E190 vacancies to be filled by March 2018. (21 JFK and 24 BOS).

 

Latest rumor heard from multiple Austin crew members (gate agents) that have been briefed on this: JB is in the process of giving up our gate in the Austin terminal to move to the 'South Terminal' (air quotes because it is more of a cargo loading area than an actual terminal) along with Allegiant and Sun Country as well as Spirit now rumored to be entering the market. This will be a horrible move for passengers and crew members alike. There is no current method to move between terminals other than a shuttle that takes you on main roads around the airport property. Off site parking shuttles drop passengers off at the main terminal only for them to have to wait for another shuttle to drive them around the airport to the 'South Terminal.' Food options, you ask? A food truck. . . If this indeed true, we have given up on the Austin market. Business travelers, Mosaic customers, will give take one look at this and run away. Hoping that someone will come to their senses and protect a very growing market.

 

Anyone know why the system bid hasn't posted on flica yet. Don't we get to see the true seniority list and see how we fell. I thought it always posted the same day we got the email.

 

If true, obvious move by management to save money, and place your operation with what it views your peer group as in that market.

 

Whether true or not, there are plenty of signs of how badly this place is going down the tank in the name of cost savings. Keep those logbooks up to date.
