My "guess" is that a significant majority, 90% or more, will bid the 74 as soon as their locks are released.
If that % is close it will work out to be about 25 NH's per year to the 76, average on the current staffing.

Very true. Most of us with previous 767 experience will also be bidding off ASAP due to $$$. Considering that and the fact that the 76 CAs with any time in type will be bidding off when their locks are up, something tells me green/green pairing issues will start cropping up again sooner than later.

Hey, thanks again for the tip on the weekend market in TPE, by the way. Picked up some cool stuff.

Let that be motivation for the prospective Atlas employees! In TPE there is a weekend market with so many local (and some not so local) treasures to explore (and take home), it is a must see! Part of this market is the "flower market" where beautiful tropical flowers are there for purchase (locals only of course, this stuff won't fly to the states if you know what I mean). There is also beautiful local and imported wood works, some jaw dropping intricate, jade, and countless other such things. It would take weeks to really appreciate the variety of unique crafts for sale there!

Either way I'm really sad if it does go away, that place is a jewel in this world!

Odd part is Jimmy in TPE doesn't know a thing about it, and someone looked up the flight schedule and it shows TPE runs through October. We'll see what happens.
