Plan on closer to 6 sometimes especially in the summer time. 95 south is a nightmare even at 9pm. It can be done in 2.5-3 but you'll need to get real lucky with traffic and time when you leave properly.

Flew with one of our pay protected FOs. He showed me he's still on the schedule for upgrade next month.
All four pay protected FOs are going as well as those who were awarded in the July realignment and displacement bid.

So this 18-24 month upgrade company advertisement has been out over 6 months now. Every FO on property should see an upgrade less than 12-18 months at this point. Where are the 20/mo upgrade vacancy notices needed to come close to that?

Was just discussing this with the capt last night. I do think that it will happen for a few individuals at some point. The company can then say, "see 18-24 month upgrades." Everyone by now has heard the huge numbers supposedly going to spirit after the bonus. I don't think it is quite as large as the numbers going around but, if frontier gets a new contract as well as spirit, this will encourage more jr captains, somewhat senior fo's as well as moderately junior fo's to go to those lcc's. This will allow a large gap in seniority numbers that will facilitate some to upgrade very quickly. I hope for everyone's sake it works out to a positive result for them no matter what decision they go with.

Hogan tests are sent out for CPP participants...

ATW says no release to UA until 3rd-4th quarter next year, but hey, haven’t been called by anyone else yet so I’m happy.

I’m just going to answer *always* on everything
