On a different note. I am in an upcoming class and easiest commutes for me will be LGA, PHL, MIA, and BOS. I know that LGA is going pretty junior out of training to hold a line based on posts on this forum. Of these bases which would be fastest to a line and on which fleet? Airbus out of PHL international is tempting but not if it means a super long time on reserve. Thanks in advance!

[QUOTE=FlyFish0614;2820722]Have MD-80 displacements already taken effect? If so, are those pilots already being assigned class dates? Thanks.[/QUOTE
There’s currently a displacement bid open for the rest of the S80 pilots. Bid closes May 25. Preliminary results will follow sometime after that, which will tell the month their training will start. Most should be around Sept-Oct

True. It'll be interested to see what happens when the dust settles. A lot of the 190 FO's want to change bases altogether. Who knows what'll happen with some of the captains, but the 190 has a lot of commuters.

the displacement rights could be nice for the seniorish FOs and CAs who want to go to CLT, since no one else has gotten in through traditional vacancies. I am really interested if they are going to create secondary displacments of the bottom FOs in CLT if a lot of S80 guys/gals bid CLT???
Will there even be displacements on the FO side? Almost all of the FOs have been awarded another airplane and are being withheld.
If you are being withheld from another bid status, can you get displaced?

Keep in mind the bid closes in May, effective October. In that time frame over 200 people will retire. So out of 350 displacements you're really taking a net 150, and that assumes no more MAX aircraft are being delivered this year.
Instead of displacing people they very well may just take the staffing hit and let attrition work through the overstaffed positions.

Thanks! I heard we bring our spouses with us all day on Wed, so they can go over benefits stuff. Is that right? Also, is it safe to assume that we go back to the hotel to change before the reception dinner? And where is the dinner, at the hotel, or AA Training and Conference Center?

I honestly suggest giving the wife or sigfig a spa day and let her stay at the hotel. the wives that sat through the indoc (8 hours) of benefits travel planner ect were bored to death and ready to leave by lunch. Just a thought. That what I did, and many wished they did the same when they all met up in the convention center.
