Hmmm... That hasn't been my experience with the NYC and CVG -88 Captains. They're great guys to fly with! You must be in ATL?

Superdad, the reason most of the ER A's are happier is simple. Most went from right to left seat to avoid a pay cut with Ch11. (My experience)

Never said you didn't have the right to complain.....but know that there's thousands of people who would trade you in a second for the right to complain about the 88.

Anyone know how many people we need on the 320?

msp has 15 coming from the 9/6 class and dtw has only 1. What is the total so far per base??

Depends on where the 320's would come from if they opened a base in NYC or ATL. There is no real answer as we are only a year in to two to three years of shifting everything around.

I will say in a static situation, the 320 in MSP and DTW was short this summer.

This is from the latest code-a-phone (Aug 27.) The wording is not entirely clear regarding "additional vacancies" for new hires and furlough bypass. Does this mean we continue to hire? Here's to hoping!

Finally, I know many of you are eagerly awaiting news on the next Advance Entitlement/Surplus Bid, which we plan to post during the first half of September. This bid will continue to position us for summer 2011 flying. As of right now, Crew Resources is expecting the bid to include some additional 747-400, 777, and 767ER positions, along with the closing of the SLC 767 categories and the opening of the SLC 767ER categories. We will create some additional vacancies for new hire and furlough recall pilots. Crew Resources is currently analyzing the latest data they have received from Network and will finalize the exact positions that will be on the bid posting over the next two to three weeks.
