The overstaffing will be extremely tough for awhile. If *if* If a new base is announced across the country...and you are willing to commute / change base. That is the only option I see to avoid months of stagnation, and 20-25 hour block months on reserve, at the current bases.
I am very curious the percentage of guys and gals that would stay if the new base is a 3+ hour flight commute away from LA. I think that an announcement like that would probably send many LA people for other airlines.

) would likely be far easier for most east coasters and MSP guys/gals than any of the current bases, especially if you could do it on company metal. It’s actually the guys/gals losing their base at SEA that might be the issue.

Well, fewer all the time, but yeah, IAH or IAD (just to pull a couple of potential bases out of a hat ) would likely be far easier for most east coasters and MSP guys/gals than any of the current bases, especially if you could do it on company metal. It’s actually the guys/gals losing their base at SEA that might be the issue.

Overstaffed currently or projected once delta planes start transitioning? How soon will they start moving planes since still delta flying through June
My understanding being a new recruit is/was understaffed but that was before announcement.

The shift has already started. 4 planes pulled off line for sept to go thru mx so they can be sent to DL in oct. that’s the reason for less lines for next month

The perfect solution to this overstaffing is giving reserve guys 18 days off a month hint hint

The perfect solution is MORE flying.

They need lots of reserves so they can pull their reserve days off and give them trips that go to Brazil to go pick up our new airplanes...
