Ex. You get awarded 737B DTW, but want to be based in ATL, so you put in a bid for 737B in ATL but also 737A in ATL. Let’s just say you have the seniority for both on the next AE, which one would you get awarded?
Whatever one is higher on the list, assuming you don’t bid with %s.

WS is difficult because 95% of our trips are 16+ hours and you won’t have that much room for pickup on your schedule.

Reserve utilization fluctuates also. Seems to be going down right now. I’d plan to fly one 3 day and one 6 day trip with a couple SCs sprinkled in.

Thanks for the detailed response

That’s what I was thinking aswell. I think I need to chase the green dragon!

If you can hold it now, you will be able to hold it in a few years. Go enjoy flying for awhile. Europe will still be there.

Haha WTF happened to CR “We are appropriately staffed and want to slow summer training down to ensure the most amount of people are flying the line?” 100 per class is insane.

I was in a class of 70+ and was told that 75 was the maximum class capacity of the room. Two at once?

Heard directly from BS that it’s 130-150/ month this summer and then going back up to 200 in the fall. A small slow down over summer because they’re trying to get SLIs to fly more over the summer.
Yup…buddy of mine is SLI and his boss told him they only way the company has a chance to execute their summer schedule is to have max SLI’s out flying the line for.
