We're pumping 115 a month through the school house in ATL. Can't do anymore than that.

Jet87 was right. Some of the SLC 700/900 flying is going to the 319 and those 700/900's will go fly the new SEA routes until the traffic will support something bigger.

The PBS sentences are out, hoooeeee, lots of tails caught in the car door! If it's any consolation I bid pretty high up the list and got crap too. When the company is short, everybody feels the pain, "thank you sir, may I have another"

I definitely won't be surprised to see an Alaska painted 175 running SEA Alaska flights now.

I don't get it. I don't even bid that high (near 50%) and have one of the best schedules I've had in years. I haven't worked a Christmas or New Years since 2008 or so. This year I've only got 3 days of work scheduled past the 21st of December. Next week I've got 6 days off around Thanksgiving. Sometimes I think people just don't know how to bid.

I also have a kickass schedule next month, and have both Thanksgiving and Christmas off. There's no question some of the senior people don't know how to bid... "But I bid Christmas off in every layer, and got a crap schedule!". How much you want to bet this was uttered by many that have been here for 5+ years?
