Any insight into how much flying there is (or isn't) in May relative to March and April in Phoenix? I hear it is shrinking more. I can see all the pairings but I don't know how that compares to previous months. Anyone know the end state for the number of crews in PHX after the summer? Thanks.

JO said nothing is happening to PHX, but who knows how legit that is... Guess the block hours say it all.

PHX won't disappear but it's always been cyclical. And they've said 80% operated out of DFW, so you can do that math on that one.

New roster is out on the bidding hub. 120 PHX FOs (with 4 more leaving mid month to upgrade) and 131 CAs. We keep losing PHX FOs to upgrades and they aren't bringing any new ones (haven't since the Dec class). Sucks for the junior PHX CAs. At least the FOs still have some movement because of upgrades, but no love for the CAs. Looks like this isn't the place to be for people who want PHX quickly. Still haven't heard what the future is for us vs SKW (both keep the same flying?) in PHX, but it isn't looking great for the next few months for people junior in PHX. If I was any more junior, I would look at changing my standing bid to DFW.

Anyone drive from Austin to IAH for work? Also, are there any decent hotels with crew rates?

True, Phoenix is the most seasonable base we have. There is a small decrease in flying between spring break and the summer. Arizona's (not the bar in Toronto) and California's travel picks up in the summer. Expect a large increase come June. I have not kept up with the CRJ side lately. What is the deal with Skywest's 900 flying out of PHX? Is it done already, or did they get a contract extension?
