pretty sure June went more junior in OAK than the predictions showed.

Looks like I’m also going to owe Stitches a $50 Visa gift card. Stitches drop me a PM with your details and I’ll get that on its way to you as soon as the bid closes with a 2014 hire in the seat.

It ain’t over until the fat lady sings though, and though I admit it looks like you’re going to walk away with this one, let’s just see what happens.

Passing through DAL, I get my almost obligatory Dickey’s, but today it just seemed a little better than usual… must be the thought of Eeyore at Hard 8’s slowly pulling out his credit card addressing the cashier while covering the family jewels saying “please be gentle.” 🤣

Yup. Here's an actual photo of RJsaviator76 helping me learn to celebrate after the credit card melts at Hard 8.

So can someone who cares more than me estimate upgrade time for a mid 17 hire before they punch out?

2024 if the upgrade/bypass rate keeps up

Am I the only one who hasn’t changed the vacancy bid since like 2017? I don’t have LAX or any Etops bases on there…they didn’t exist then. Lol

Could go either way. I am aware of a number of people who bid Captain positions way back then haven't bothered to touch their bids. Then in the last couple days they started receive messages from their buddies about upgrading and went in removed their Captain bids so they could bypass. You basically forgo TWO summer vacations by upgrading for July...this summer and the one you could bid next year.

I agree, 162 upgrades is not a typical vacancy.
