Read that email thinking “English please”. Anyone able to translate what bases are being reduced, and by how much?

Considering “temporary base reduction” has its own line and posted underneath it is “ACY 4 FOs”, I assumed the only reduction is in ACY. It also appears that is just due to a lack of not being able to hire in Dec, for obvious reasons? The rest appear to be vacancies so I’m not getting too excited until it happens in Jan and Feb as well.

So the bid upgrades 24 and disblaces 4 FOs out of ACY? Those for go where? To the vacancies created by the 24 upgrades?

At the risk of ASSuming I'd assume that because the reduction is attributed to "new hire shortfall" they'll maybe just send 4 fewer new hires to ACY and nobody will actually be displaced?

Look at the “what if” award. Looks like the 3 most jr ACY first officers are getting displaced to other bases. They are the 3 most junior pilots on the list who currently hold a base other than MIA. All 3 probably don’t want ACY anyhow. The 4th most junior is getting displaced to FLL and it appears he could have held FLL previously so he may not be happy. Junior to him, a pilot is leaving FLL which could be a involuntary displacement.

All in all there are still 24 upgrades.

Hopefully, this is just a preview of future/larger “Shortfalls” in class attendance to come.

This doesn’t make sense with what the company is doing. I agree that those bottom 3 don’t want ACY anyways. Why not just create a vacancy for FO’s in other base but make ACY “0” opening.

Because that would make sense.
