Meh. The "career expectations" issue is still a thorny one in my mind, but I'm sure we'll hash that out later. JCBA is the current focus. Overall I think this will be a good thing. The other day I was thinking just how painfully long a 6 hour flight back from the East Coast felt (I did it to myself), so I think it's safe to say that I'm fine with fences and my relative seniority in base/seat--not much heavy envy here. The big planes are nice to look at, but you don't get many Wrangell landings in them.
Honestly I have great confidence in our MEC so I'm sure that when the time comes they'll do the best they can for us. We can tell them our thoughts, but other than that, it's out of our hands.
Honest question for those in the know: Per the announcement on TeamAAG about combining the fleets, how much ETOPS could we expect to do in the NB? Probably some, but less is my takeaway.

Been hearing many rumors that AS will be doing a lot of changes to our HA routes in terms of utilization and this will lead to us having a significant increase in redeye.. right now, a large part of our flying is 1 leg over 1 leg back (sometimes with a DH to OGG).. and all day time flying..
Any thoughts on this? True that some 30% of all AS flying currently is redeye?

I've done both.. even before my time at HA, I did a lot of ultra long haul... It's easiest to do a single leg short day for me.. but if I had to pick between multi-leg days and long haul .. I'd take long haul.. especially since you get a decent break with multi crew.
