They will, but very unlikely to all post on one AE. They will decide which small portion they want trained in a given month, and back up the AE to post 3 months prior.

Unless and until they go away from smaller monthly bids, don’t expect a large WB posting. In a way, they are almost stuck doing monthly AE’s now until hiring slows down…

So basically November, December, January, and February are the four training months to get ready for spring break / summer 2024 which -3 months would imply August-December AEs can expect the majority of staffing increases for the planes getting delivery next year. That’s the way I understand it I think.

I guess I’m curious as to why we only have had a total of 16 330B (and 10 of them -SEA- were just to pick up some of the ER) openings since January if we have sooo many planes coming. Seems like we’d have to have at least 20 openings for the next several AEs to catch up and be ready. That’s just on the 330B side of things. Thank God networking takes care of this stuff cause clearly I’m clueless lol

The answer is it’s better to run the widebodies thin and the narrowbodies have more reserve. It’s so predictable how they do this. Then staff the widebody shortage with GS heavy reserve pilots. We grow the seniority list but networking will just keep adding thousands of block hours. No matter how many fancy graphs they try and show us for how “well” we are staffed.

If there was ever a significant pacific recovery and/or the US/Chinese government even went to 50% of the daily flights allowed to China-U.S. from pre-Covid we would be so screwed.

The slowdown would have to be age 67. It will help the company out for a little while, but snap your fingers and we are back here again before you know it

Talk me through how 67 helps the company in the twelve months ahead…

I heard all Starship pilots will require a delicate corneal inversion procedure... a multioptipupiloptomy. But, in order to keep from damaging the eye sockets, they've got to go in through the rectum. Ain't no man going to take that route with me!

Right?

Also two years of *very limited* slowing of the training pipeline, but paying astronomically higher premiums on LTD, or not; I can guess which one the company would choose.

Any progress with the Kennedy assassination conspiracy? I heard it goes all the way to the top!

Nurse, check his p****, is it longer than mine?

Good, gotta work fast, I got lunch.

I’m not saying it does. I don’t know how it will play out and who it actually helps or if it even does anything. At the worst for seniority movement I don’t think it will be as big of a deal as people think. Certainly not anything like 60 to 65. Just trying to view it as not a big deal if it does end up happening.
