There will be secondary vacancies. No conspiracy here. Take a look at how all the bases are staffed in the left seat wrt min/max numbers.

I have not been following the saga either. What gives?

Not alleging any conspiracy. Simply questioning a decision to hang onto a dying 24 plane fleet at the expense of a growing one.

I heard that they were going to pull ten more 744's out of the desert.

Dying fleet? There are 747's we had delievered BRAND NEW since 2000. So its not a dying fleet. And only 25 of those 787s came from CAL. UAL has 40 on order, taking the number to 65 total, so don't try and take all the credit. Plus both fleets will be open in 2 years once #25 arrives.

Thanks for all the guppies by the way. They look really cute.

That'd be fantastic......but......oh....wait, didn't Rono sell all those engines?? Oh well. :eek:

Seems like DAL, AA, LCC, LUV are kicking our rear with fleets you might classify as dying fleet aircraft...does it make sense to pay off a plane that is making loads of money and then park it during a time when airlines are filling premium seats?

It will be interesting to see how many of the Chicago people bid back into the 400.

I just want to clarify something...as a poolie still waiting for class, when this bid closes those remaining spots will be used for new hires? I saw 100 ewr FO 737,20 a320, and 35 JFK 767t spots.
