Good for you guys!
Interesting - from what I saw during my quick run-through - not a LOT of FDAL and FNWA moved to the other former side's aircraft..well not as many as I thought.

Some people stayed with the plane vs driving to work...interesting. I'm happy. I moved down 0.9% relatively.

Hope everyone came out ok. The wife and I are happy. My 4-yr old daugher doesn't care...she keeps asking me to help her play dress-up. Aaah to be young again. :-) (But I wouldn't be playing dress up I would be burning Army men)
Ok, works in Safari but not in Firefox. Looks like I stay on the ER, moving ever closer to the plug.
Lots of VD from the NYC ER. Only 5 MD.

Agreed. We had a handful come into LA and push guys out of the ER, which, in turn, pushed guys out of the 73. Only one FNWA came directly into the 73 from FNWA. Not nearly what I was expecting. I guess most guys are happy where they are, which is a good thing long term for the company. Once again, looks pretty seamless to me.

"DAMNIT" will be uttered often.

Plus, wait until you see the FO's flows...it'll blow your mind. I still have nightmares and its been 8 years. At one point in my life, I was doing them in my sleep to the amusement of my wife. Most ergonomically screwed up thing you've ever seen.
14 North guys moved to the the NYC ER B, the vast majority were DTW 755. I counted only 1 74 guy and a couple of 9 As. I would guess that the DTW guys moving to NY live in the area? Any of you out here to confirm? All but one was a VD.

Welcome aboard guys. I would say you'll love the ER but the category has changed so much in the two years I've been here that I don't know what to expect. The senior guys will love it as they will get the pick of the litter to nice locations. The bottom feeders get domestic and Africa and short trips.

You will definitely love the 76 though. Much roomier up front and nicer rest seats. As sensitive as the 75 is in pitch the 76 is in roll. Landing is totally different too. 75 flare to your belly, 76 almost none. Oh, and don't chop the power on the 76 at 30ft, you turn into a rock really quickly.

Buzz,
Sounds about right, a buddy of mine was bumped from the 7ER to the 737 in LAX, but overall I think the "MOAB" was pretty anti-climatic. I'm sure there are individuals throughout the system on both sides who would disagree, but as a whole not nearly the Armageddon it could have been.

Scoop - In exactly the same spot in LAX 73N B that I was before the bid. Yeah, I know, I need to update my status thingy.
Projected Training list with conversion months will probably be out Monday.

See you in the lounge Scoop. I dropped two slots but remain relatively unscathed (for now).
