Maybe one day! As much crap as people talk about the NB trips, there’s a reason why a lot of pilots in the top 10,000 won’t leave it. I have no idea why but talk is cheap and even tho word on the street is NB FO stinks, there’s A LOT of folks willing to do it by choice. So because of that I don’t see it changing anytime soon. Why would it? A lot people enjoy it for some reason so there you go. I personally would take the plug on any wide body at any base and commute by choice over staying in base as a NB FO but that’s just me. Thank God we have a ton of pilots who think the exact opposite as I do! To each their own. That’s the beauty of this career!

I had a 330 jumpseater a couple months back tell me the reason they're evaluating still SLC for the 330 was that they were having issues with the 330 taking off fully loaded out of SLC in the summer. Said they'd have to make a fuel stop in MSP or DTW before crossing the pond. Anyone hear anything about this?

not sure why that would evaluate the base though as there is nothing else really that can do SLC-Europe in 100+ temps. It’s not frequent enough (fuel stops) to say a base isn’t worth opening, imo. Supposedly there is talks about extending 34R too. Similar to Denver having a 16k runway.

Speaking of AEs and conversion windows - does anyone recall if there is anything in the contract regarding compensation if the company upgrades out of seniority order? I remember hearing something about this but can’t find it in the PWA.
