MySeniority says 1,368 FOs bypassing upgrade in the June vacancy. It was 1,013 in May.

Yep. Why commute to rsv during summer when you’ve got VA/kid activities planned when you can just wait a couple months and go to DAL once kids are back in school?

I’d also guess more bypassing FO’s out west as most people don’t want a 2-3 time zone commute to a lousy schedule. Bypassing #’s would drop if they had vacancies out west…now that AUS is about done growing…we’ll see if planning is full of 💩 when they say they’ll grow western bases.

SAN or SMF would prob help. So would MCI or STL…but not if they rip another 100 out to staff it.

I believe the top four before AUS opened were:

AUS
STL
MCI
SAN

I may be wrong about MCI vs SMF…

Idk how SAN keeps making that list with only 1 runway?

Yep. Plenty of bypassing in the summer. It's a bold move with the world like it is right now, but if someone is bypassing, it's usually because they don't have much of a choice. Going to upgrade is like a 4 week pause button for your life. The way they do it here with a 2 week heads up is honestly unhinged.

I don't trust a thing that comes out of the mouth of crew planning until it actually happens. They say they will grow western bases but what exactly that means we shall see. They are currently Denver-ing Oakland. Who knows where the unblinking eye of Sutcliffe will turn to next?

I don’t see how only having 1 runway matters. It *already* only has one runway. Making it a base to lesson overnights in an expensive city doesn’t make it any more or less busy. A base won’t change the daily flight schedule.

- a guy against more bases
