Lost cause with this guy.

Everyone on property at envoy will be at mainline AA before that military dude.

It's usually not released until within about a week of the class start. The coordinators (who'll you'll email to coordinate indoc) will provide it upon request when it's available.

For those about to bid. We take no more Airbus deliveries until 2019. That would make me believe that anyone getting Airbus may stagnate in their position a little longer than 737 or 190. Still getting 737 deliveries and 190 is somewhat of a revolving door. If your goal is to get to DFW make sure you are ready to wait. Many pilots that I fly with are trying to get there. Maybe Sliceback could chime in on what he sees. He is a seniority maven and crunches numbers like an accountant.

No more Bus deliveries, but are the LUS/AWA guys the oldest and retiring the fastest?

That's a big part of trying to make an assessment/guess/hunch.

In general LUS has a greater percentage of the near term retirements and more AB jobs. Just guessing I'd think that would be more important than the 737 deliveries. I'll look at the numbers when I have a chance.

I feel safe asking this on here vs C&R. Seriously, what is the appeal of Dallas? Why do so many want to be based there?

Looks like they are still staffing the S80s, that might be one way to get it.

It’s the heat. Most people don’t know how much they love their air conditioning until it’s 50+ days of 100F and 85% humidity.

At least we have fire ants...

Thanks Slice! I'm in the next class (7 Nov) and very interested in your input. I'm not opposed to the supposed improved QOL of the 190 but would eventually like to get to CLT (bus) for commuting reasons.
