True statement, I was trying not to be to complicated. The projected category forecast for the second quarter 08' looks pretty close to this current AE.

I'm interested in submitting an app at DL. Can anyone answer my questions?
-Are New-Hires able to hold LAX or SLC?
-What are the min. days off for reserves and line holders?
-What is the average Time Away From Base for a line holder in LAX and SLC on the jr. aircraft types?

It will be interesting to see how junior some of these wide bodies go. I would venture to guess that you will see first year guys on the ER and depending on how many 400 FO move to CA a few there. Looking from where I sit there are only 40 or so people senior to me that have the 765 B position bid. With the CA slots open it could get interesting.

If by CA you mean LAX, it looks like the 767-400 may be dead there. The latest AE has LAX 767-400 shrinking from 53 to 33 by Mar08. In the short term ( next couple of years ), LAX may just be a 76/75 base.

The word is that the remaining seats on the LAX767-400 will be gone with a NOV advanced Entitlement.

I have heard the 765 in LAX will be gone in the next bid or two. LAX will get an ER category, and if we end up with some MD-90s I would not be surprised to see an 88 base in LAX.

I think this bid will go very junior in some areas. The ER FOs in NYC and ATL will go down to people still in new hire training. I think the ER captain in NYC will get down to about 3600-3700 on the seniority list (mid to late 91 hire). 73N Captain in NYC down to about a mid 97 hire. 88 captain in NYC is already down to a 98 hire and I would not be surprised to see someone hired in 99 slip in there.

When are the results known?

the AE closed today at noon. Depending on the size of the bid, the results can take a day or two. I think we will see them by 5pm tomorrow.

That's the rumor...... I'll be more than happy to fly the 90, flew it in SLC. Kind of like dating a wild woman, a lot of fun, just don't take your eye of of it for a second, no telling where it will get off to......

Hey guys, rather than start a new thread on DAL, and rather than pile onto the mega thread. I hope I can ask a few questions in this thread..

I wonder, on the PRIA paperwork they send you.. Do you need to fill out an 8060-11 for EACH prior 121/135 you worked for?

Also, what is the "information page" on the passport? is that the part with your hand written info you're suppose to fill out? or is that the first page with your passport #, etc?

thanks
