Maybe this time some senior pilots will sit out the AE because of the holidays.

That’s my hope and seems to ring true to my small sample base via text (not going to training over holidays)…. Now what will be offered and what will hit…. Waiting anxiously.

I find the issues on these small AE’s not really what senior people are doing it’s just the sheer lack of options that is holding back from widebodies really breaking the 11k barrier again. It will happen but it will take time I think. Not enough monthly bids yet to help guys out like Flex and I

I run into a lot of people who get all hung up on the results but don’t even realize the bid had 0 openings for what they were chasing and not a lot of up movement to change things up. We are all mentally still attached to results of bigger bids it seems like

They also didn’t backfill a single 765B in either base, and at least a dozen left I think. That would have gotten into 11s easily I bet.

With enough WBA openings it truly doesn't matter what the rest has.

Exactly! When you have 0 NYC330Bs, you can’t expect much unless you are 10XXX. The idea of basically no WBB openings is rough and we can’t expect much. Heck I’m surprised at how senior the backfills went. The 10 SEA openings don’t count either, btw.

The reality of it is we have had a grand total of SIX A330B openings since January. That’s unheard of. The next few AEs will make up for it or else we may be hurting big time come next year!
