If you bid same category at a different base would they start converting in July or August? July schedules are already posted so not sure that would work.

Practically however, a month lead time makes sense for both NH and AE awards.
BS’s memo alludes to October and November will be heavy training months, so I would expect much bigger AEs in August and September to facilitate that.
All that doesn’t mean the company will actually do anything that makes sense though.

I think Flex is referring to NH classes, which technically can be offered as soon as the day after the results come out.

You can’t count summer as an international indicator. It’s always going to be busier in the summer with more international destinations. Guys in the 3000#s (I’m pretty sure even lower)weren’t touching international in the winter. That’s where you have to look. Sure the ER has the best flying but it only has the best flying year round if you’re like top 20% FO and like 15% CA. I’m 30ish percent in the right seat and couldn’t hold a pure international line in the right seat. People the forget the domestic ER trips are as bad as any other NB fleet

but to your point the best thing about the ER is the variety. I like all the flying in modest quantity. I wouldn’t want to do 100% europe. I like transcons and I even like beating up the pattern in and out of atlanta every once in a while.

The ER is the only plane where you can fly for both Deltas.

Looks like a BOS base is out of the picture for DL at the moment. Any chance we ever see a BOS base for DL or has this idea been squashed completely?

I mean RDU/MCO/TPA/MIA have been in this category for a long time. Too easy to cover by the large ATL/NYC/DTW crew bases.

I know folks have been surprised by training when they were counting on the conversion memo.
Agree on the late summer AEs being smaller if they can actually do them monthly.

Quite a few guys are staying on the ER for the variety of flying. I’m bouncing to the 400 as soon as I get a chance.
