Much cheaper to hold guys for training than to train newhires only to displace them in a few months. Those positions are going to go unfilled, I guarantee you. There won't be any Newhires going to the 757.

I didn't hear about the 757s either, so that's news to me. But the season adjustments of the euro flying always causes displacements off the 767.

From what I understand, it's always been that way, here. If you're super junior on the 767 or the 330, you're seasonal help.

Nice to see PHX getting awarded...as long as there's a spot left for me at the end of May, that is!

I believe there were 40 open positions in PHX on their last bid. I think around 20 or so have been awarded. I could be wrong, though.

So why again can't third listers "bid" over to the west side instead of newhires being placed there? Everyone is working under the same certificate, just seems like something that should be allowed.

That's the million dollar question man...I wish we had concrete info in this and if pbS is the hang up or SLI.
