Have a MKV Supra with a 6 speed. Love it but gotta ship the ECU off to Finland to unlock it to tune it since I wanna big turbo it. #BMWProblems

Yea. I've been debating how long I'll delay upgrade, both to shorten the time on reserve and to give me a little insurance against involuntary displacement. Of course, if I bid 100% LAX CA followed immediately by 100% LAX FO, all they'd do is downgrade me. I'll probably end up doing that instead of bypassing.

I doubt very few will leave the base voluntarily and even if they do that does nothing to help folks with DRR.

I hope SWA has some big plans to address the mess they have caused. With little to no info from crew planning except announcing more displacements I feel for all the families hurting on the west coast and beyond.

MCO and BWI are where NH will likely end up, until a new base is announced to shake stuff up.

If there is no vacancy then won't they go to your 3rd choice etc?
