Aww got ya thanks! So one of those meetings where they said “the 350-1000 is next” … I’ll believe it when I see it lol. I cannot image they will wait until AUGUST! That’s a long time from now. I’ll believe BS with the June/July time frame. Even that seems too far but I guess they need SLI online this summer.

Just for the record, an AE post date has never meant the day training begins. SLI are needed for this summer but that has nothing to do with an AE. If an AE was posted in June (which is my guess still) then that would mean September, October, and November training dates. The average has been about 3-5 months for training after the AE results. I think an August AE is insane. That would imply training would begin November/December which is not exactly a good time either. It’ll be June! I’d say there’s a 1% chance it’ll be July but definitely not August. That would be insane.

Someone said it had to do with the last AE causing issues (I'd assume in the training pipeline or very imbalanced staffing) that required time to work out before they goober it up even more with a new AE.

Bob S in AMS hotel visit yesterday said June AE still expected. “mid- to late-June.”

said 330 issues in SLC in the summer has them looking at possible 350 in SLC instead, but weighing that against delayed deliveries, network, etc.

still evaluating BOS between 330 and 320, but that 320 departures from BOS are down compared to 2019, and they pulled addresses and think it’d just be another commuter base, which factors into their decisions

Wow! Thanks for the info! That’s a curve ball. If SLC350 happens that’ll mean more europe flying for the 350 pilots in general because the 6 day trips would then include SLC for the mid rotation layover.

SLI’s are contractually required to fly a certain amount each year. The company has always loaded much of that flying into the summer. It’s nothing new. It’s the way they have always done business. We have often slowed or stopped hiring in the summers for the same reason. It’s just smart to fly your SLI’s when demand is the greatest.

When did we last stop hiring for the summer?Regardless of what has historically happened, what Mgmt is planning with SLI’s this summer ain’t ‘just another summer’
