Yea, that could prove to make that city pair an expensive little venture. Planes and stuck crews twiddling thumbs on the ground don't make things efficient.

Tower to tower enroute?? Bypass flow delay.. we use to do that back in the day (20 years ago..)

I just had two people I know text me saying they were awarded an upgrade and lack the 1,000 SIC. Things are about to get interesting.

Training will send them a questionnaire, if you do not meet the requirements the award will be pulled.

That worked on Modesto to San Francisco.

Can't...STS is in Oakland Center's airspace and you need to be in approach control airspace the entire time on a TEC.

The other option is just putting everyone on the STS Airporter (the bus), which anyone in their right mind would use anyways.

Yup, we now have our first 50,000 (employee number) captain. Amazing.

Minor leverage. Nice.
Maybe better junior QOL could be bargained to incentivize the many qualified to upgrade.

What really strikes me is how the West Coast upgrades and transitions have come to a near-total halt.

For example (these are award dates, not hire dates!)

Last SFO ER7 upgrade award date: 11/30/16
Last SFO CRJ upgrade award date: 12/20/16
Last LAX ER7 upgrade award date: 11/30/16
Last LAX CRJ upgrade award date: 12/01/16

SEA and PDX show no upgrades after 11/1/16. There were a couple CRJ upgrades in FAT and three upgrades in PSP this month.

Even transfers into West Coast bases have pretty much shut down.
