I hope we don't lose that much flying. If we do I might as well go get my extra $1 and go to the 70.

This is the same flying we were expecting to loose. Nothing new here, just hadn't happened yet.

Very in depth conversation with the gods of Planning. Been 100% accurate in the last 2 years. Provided good info to formulate a plan on what is best in my situation. Basically, it is the dci reduction in flying, timing is typical for the spring break months leading into summer where it picks up. 2000 hours is the magic number, (confirmed) spread out on the 50 seater. The amount from each domicile is still undecided, it could a even 50/50 split though highly unlikely. Hours should return in summer starting into Sept. where ironically is when the next bid is projected. Th attrition has slowed as well as reduction in flying so the need for the upgrades is on a needed bases. Keep in mind that while a loss of hours is there, the min line value is also adjusted so if you're on the bubble of line holder and reserve, the reduction line value may help.

You are correct. Just responding to the hopefuls of expecting a vacancy bid every month or other month.

2000 hours may seem extreme but in the overall scheme of things, it is not as bad as it looks. Though the flying is reduced, trip productivity is improved. Other factors are there as well, too many to list however planning explains the scenarios very well. Have to hand it to those guys, possibly the best Comair has going for them....aside the pilots of course..lol!

I already mentioned that in a few posts back. I talked to planning last week, and he told me that we are loosing thousands of hours. Either way, a lot of people will be back on reserve come April/May.
