Make sure you look at the recent bid awards. All weekend flying for the bottom 40ish line holders, LGA trips and largely non-commutable trips. For all these reasons you will see many of us that can hold a line bidding reserve. A 15 day line that is non-commutable means 18-20 days away from home, even worse depending on where you're commuting from. Throw in some early AM LGA trips and double duty to the West Coast and back, and a line may look less desirable. Just my $.02.

How'd you figure lax in that formula/swag?? We're selling our gates to our rivals...real american genius that FLIBS is...landed 32 mins early a while back( lax) and had to wait for a gate...blocked in 3 mins late..:eek:

The latest bid is growing LAX 737 about 30% by Nov. Like you I am scratching my head at where they think these planes are gonna go since the uber guppy cant park at the 80 gates and we gave up 4 gates in T6.

They will probably put the guppies on the RJ parking area just east of T-8 and bus people out there to them. That would seriously not surprise me.

Wow! That would seriously not surprise me as well...we are sooooo *!!!!!!

Its about 75% that we have a gate available in LAX when we land. That's not the case for almost any other station. Probably 95% at other stations. And this is in an airplane that can fit at about any gate.

So... Pros and cons of the Airbus and the 737? Looks like the predicted 11 76Ts for my class next week won't be there after all!

Depends on where you live.. and what you like to fly~
How fast you want/need a line too...

I live in Dayton, Ohio... Commuting will be a fact of life, perhaps forever (though a move to New England may happen before retirement). What I like to fly: anything in UAL's fleet suits me just fine. I know. Boeing but I'm not opposed to learning something new. How fast? Well, I am prepared to deal with reserve for a couple of years (in between leaves for military duty)... So the question is: Are the trips pretty similar out of EWR?

Yeah,bro, you know I've been contemplating it for a while. Not worth it quite yet. My biggest question is how long til there's movement in IAH.
