Those 14 won't cover ATL alone, and they won't all be here until the end of the year though. We have to pull planes from the other three to open ATL I would guess.

What's the story on shortened footprint for cl-65 type?

Possibly, but R.E. told class there would be 7 more shifted to New York this year....

I heard the FAA approved the program so it should be in place for future classes. Something to ask the recruiters/interviewers.

It's for those coming over with type ratings

Kudos to last nights' Crews.

Clearance, Endeavor ... We'd like to file IFR to LGA.....

-and to ATC; who said "standby' and then 'are you ready to copy'

Delta IT. See me after class.. :-(

While the airplanes might be shifted, the actual amount of block hours/base may not change. As it stands, a lot of MSP and DTW 900 trips flow through NYC. We could probably just do a little more of that.

And we will probably stop having NYC trips that all flow through DTW, MSP, and CVG.

I said it a few posts ago, I don't think MSP900 will get any bigger but the amount of shrinkage could be limited with creative scheduling.

Never knew we could actually file by ourself. 🤔 Learn something new everyday.

It was astonishlying quiet last night cruising down the east coast.

Yup. We did, with Dispatch blessing. I'm sure there were some funny looks at our departure field, but once they understood the magnitude of the outage ATC were fantastic. Everyone knows the TAS of their jet, right??
Build the team, pull in all resources, keep smiling and work the problem creatively.
Like i said, Kudos to all. Mainline went back to the gate. #EDVDelivers
