3 no-shows!! WTH?

Not this year

The class was only slated for 14 originally. All 14 showed up but they kicked one guy out yesterday for making some type of derogatory comments towards another person.

Good, we need fewer DB's here

You didn't say this year... but I think there will be more new hires going to the -80 later this year.

There are a lot of FOs getting close to their 2 year seat lock on the 80. I wouldn't be surprised to see newhires backfilling those guys when they bid airbus.

By this time next year IWA and AVL will be completely airbus with PIE in the throws of transition, I doubt there will be much need if any for more -80 pilots. Additionally, equipment locks are being looked at my management with the possibility of dropping all locks next summer in favor of a straight seniority based system.

You seem to think you know a lot. You're either management or completely full of something. Could be both.

There have been no announcement of plans to have any base currently staffed with MD80's to be completely Airbus by such and such a date. Their plans change constantly and anything you post will be a complete SWAG, even if you are management.

I'm a nobody but get closer to certain people than most. You're right though, they change their mind frequently.

Been lurking for awhile and AVL seems to be the domicile with the least information. Anyone else believe it is at risk or if it is a relatively junior base? I could care less which airframe.
