Speaking of this, does anyone has a list of the unfilled positions?

Common sense, but that is not permitted.

I think any reasonable person would agree that in the above example, there is not reason that the PIC cannot have the authority to make a decision like that.

No, no, no! It's the union that won't allow that, not the company....

Oh, no: not our union--I'm talking about the flight attendants' union, Silly! It's much better than ours....

This is a really weird new “normal” if it stays like this! I think I like it but time will tell. I can’t imagine seeing anything bigger than what we just saw in June. Maybe they will skip a month every once in awhile. That’ll make for some larger bids.

So would the last AE be considered the small size they’re talking about for monthly AE’s? Or was that one more what we will expect from a potential bi-monthly AE?

That was a size of the monthly AEs. (And even that was on the smaller size). Bi-monthly would be larger in theory.

The June was the smallest one we will see for a while IMO. They did it as a test run to see how monthly AEs “could“ look. AEs in the summer are always small because there isn’t a ton of training going on. I had my CQ recurrent last week and the place was empty. I bet the Fall AEs will be monthly and bigger than what we just saw because we have a lot of new metal coming next year they need to get geared up for! I think potentially the July AE will cover August as well so I predict a larger, bi-monthly AE for the next round. Then September and October will each have their own AE each month. October’s AE will cover November and December then we will see a large AE in January. That’s my personal guess. I have no insider info to back this up!
