This is mostly for the Delta guys. What are your displacement preferences? Where do you want to go and where do you expect to land?

I am a NYC ER Fo and hope to hang on. I would rather be the plug than go to training again.

ATL any and everything.

No car needed, just 20 bucks or so for the Krew Gardens cab, or bus from LGA and back.
Commute is not too bad, with BOS and DCA as escape route.

I will not bid until the 14th.

Junior guy in LAX on 73N. Just hoping to stay in LAX. Otherwise:
SLC73NB
ATL88B
CVG73NB
CVG88B

Actually I have no damn clue as to what will happen to me and how I should bid, i.e. MD vs VD or what? Or if me losing my seat is really a reality. Will the shuffle really work it's way to LAX on the 73NB?

Remember that with a VD you get a seat lock. With a MD you do not. CVG is hard to commute to. Lots of RJ service.

good info, thanks

Ny is a B-I-T of a commute. Weather, delays, holding, cancellations, and if you get on a flight that is scheduled to arrive in time you can bet you will sit on the ramp waiting for a gate for hours. Ok, only a small exaggeration. I have found that the ATL-JFK flights are few and far between and usually full.

Thats not all VD gives you.

I'm anything in ATL first then to NYC ER and down from there. All on a MD only.

About half of the ER folks I know will be opting for NYC ER first if displaced out of ATL ER, the rest will remain in ATL. Wish the 737 wasn't a surplus and more junior than it is. It has some fantastic trips when you flip through their bid packet.

Yes, ATL-JFK sucks, the only time I nearly got burned on the commute was when I decided to take that first 767 from ATL-JFK and it took off 7 hours late due to storms, but I still made show. Usually I used LGA and that worked out perfect, and also bid for Sao Paulo, late show and very early end.

Now, snow season is a different ball game and completely unpredictable and devistating sometimes for days and days while thunderstorms can be mitigated by taking one of the early flights to LGA and it working a vast majority of the time. Also, in the mornings after a rough night I saw DAL throw in an extra 88 flight around 7am or so. Its early, but at least you get there. So if you couldn't get a jumpseat and the weather was bad look for that.

Hey ACL. Similar question. If you just put in a MD and nothing else...and you are displaced. Then, theoretically, you go to your new equipment/base only for the duration it takes you to bid back to where you were pre-AE? Sorry if this sounds ignorant, just haven't gone through these before now.
