We are planning to open an MSP717 base on this AE...Because the base is new, we will carefully evaluate the volume of training demand created...If the volume of training would negatively impact our ability to prepare for summer flying, we will likely defer the opening to later in the year. If the base is opened, we will grow it opportunistically...
I'm really confused by this. Are they opening the base or not? I kinda understand that they can use the full 210 days to decide exactly when to open it, but the way it's worded it sounds like they're going to wait and see who bids for it. Can they do that?

I spend great family time. I gather you have no facts to support the mostly narrow body airline. Took me 2 minutes to look things up. We have about 13,200 line pilots now and about 5700 of them are on the 7ER or bigger.

(emphasis mine) (also, I don't know it's huge)

I was just flying, a few loops, rolls and a hammerhead. Then 3 wheel landings and a full stop 3 Point! Heading to lunch with the wife now.

They can award 0-20 positions per seat which means, in effect, they do not have to award anything. Solely their discretion. However, if they award at least one position in this AE, the 60-day new category clock starts ticking for the category. If they elect not to award any MSP717 positions, the 60-day clock will not start running.
It seems like they are hoping that the 15 7ERBs will displace to the 717 and that the remaining vacancies will be filled by pilots currently qualified in the B717.

Just because you don't like what he says, doesn't mean he's a management mouth piece. SF asking you for facts isn't an attack. I've been at odds with SF quite a few times and he sticks to facts and does it without any real naming calling/deragatory remarks. I'm glad he still posts on here.
