Correct. April 19, 2023 there will be thousands who are free from their shackles and can bid again. I think the bid that frees those guys up will be the one where you’ll see a touch of normalcy across the board, and a plethora of A spots awarded to new hires on the 717/737/A220.

7 years? 3,400 was hired in what year? I’ll have a 25 year career here and might NEVER be a WB A as it stands now. Sorry you have no empathy for people with dreams of being a WB skipper some day despite being 15 years deep into this career and having no realistic shot at their dream position.

What are the rumors/guesses for the next AE?
Timing? Categories in focus?
A32Ns and B739s coming online with reactivations of 7ER and 717; the pilots need to come from somewhere. But where?
ER seems to be about tapped out on bidders, As are almost new hires and there are enough Bs left over for new hires the rest of the year.
oh yeah those A350s and A339s are coming too…

Stop spreading rumors about a Florida base in the next AE. There’s no way. But I did hear from a higher up growth in south Florida is coming.

sorry if I misunderstood. Sounded like you were saying the phase out will begin soon to be complete 2030. Lately they’ve been saying current plan is 2030 to have them and re-evaluate from there. The flex fleet is crucial too with how badly we are staffed in certain fleets month to month. Network is probably having a stroke at trying to fill all these 321neo deliveries on shiny great routes when fleet is so poorly staffed.
