Someone earlier suggested getting daily company updates. This is a prime example of why thats a bad idea

Where is the 350 being used where it is perhaps too much airplane?
It’s flying full pretty much every day from ATL to DUB. Don’t know if there are enough 330s avail to cover that number of daily seat though.

Okay, so I made a couple stupid comments and you guys picked up the ball and scored a touchdown. They stemmed from frustration. I retract said comments and apologize for being stupid and frustrated.

Now with that said, I wonder if RG's pending coronation had anything to do with the internal fight GL has been alluding to over this AE. Last time RG had control, we "found efficiency" to a 500 pilot surplus and stopped hiring. Is this BOHICA?

They said this pretty much in the SLC base meeting. They want to see how the 330 performs this summer and if they can find work arounds on the temps and the “engineering teams” are aware of the 330 SLC issues.

they said there have been some initial discussions about 350 being able to do it but now it’s more of us that too much airplane to do it year round and the networking as well, since LHR/AMS/CDG have lots of 330s and not many 350s system wide. Probably for the efficiency of trip builds.

It would be easy to fly A330 9 months of the year and fill in with A350 during 3 mos of summer. The company would either eat some DH time or fly inside out from another base.

Meaning they can slam everybody through more 6 day trips.

As someone who never says anything stupid, I will still forgive you. These boards are a great place to vent so we don’t do it on the line. I say things here that I insulate at work. It’s a great way to relieve my frustrations. So I get where you were coming from.

I'm still inside the 24 months of when I was awarded NBA (Oct 2021) but I checked iCrew and under my Advanced Entitlement / Displacement Preferences next to FREEZE EXPIRES it says *None*

Does this mean I'm not on a freeze? Kinda looks that way.

Absolutely yes. iCrew is the law.

Out of curiosity, did you do a short course or return from Mil Leave? Or was it a regular AE with a change of aircraft long course?
