I think PHL has some near the airport but it has rampers, gate agents, etc. that tend to make that “home.” Kinda like to sit around and b*tch about flying with other pilots rather than the awkward silence all day.

Hm I didn’t know that about PHL. I wonder how the Buchanan is doing in DCA. A month ago when I flew I heard there was a waitlist with no more movement from both PSA and Republic.

What do you mean by voluntary? There were a few I seen in the flica download that had their preference as to downgrade rather than sit reserve as CA. If you mean vacancy, the next move will most likely be next July when the system wide bid goes out.

Previous poster said (paraphrasing) “if I won’t have a line in Charlotte, maybe I’ll go to XXX”

But there are no vacancies in any base. Every base is chucking captains. So you can’t bid clt>phl unless you’re displaced.

(oh and you can’t make a lateral move in the future because there’s a long line of base rights displacees ahead of you)

It only took you twenty minutes to get across the ramp in Charlotte? That might be a record.

Agreed, the days of base hopping and line chasing are over. Not only would you have to wait for those with displacement rights to get back to their base, there are those senior to them who’ll have seniority rights because their base has closed.

Watching people on FB talk about if they leave their numebr one choice as TYS or ORF they'll get to go back when it re-opens is pretty amusing.

Guess what they're not going to reopen.

Well, we have to leave those as our number one choice in order to be assumed as an involuntary displacement. If you put CLT or DCA, then the company will assume otherwise. I believe the next bid that'll open each month so we can change our “standing bid” per the contract will require you to remove ORF/TYS to complete the bid.

There are 8 CA vacancies in PHL. The 8 most senior people who desire CA PHL will be awarded it, including FOs if they have the seniority.

Displaced CAs only get priority over upgrading FOs on a transfer of flying bid. This one will go straight seniority.

Also if any FOs get displaced and had been bypassing they can displace to CA if their seniority is senior to the most junior CA.

The most junior displaced captain gets the opportunity to go back to the left seat before the most senior FO could upgrade.
