Prepare yourselves… 2023 AEs
#4181
I don't think it's BS, I think it's marketing, BS is just at the end of the whip. However, it seems like the smaller/frequent bids would cause bids to be spread out more evenly throughout the bases. I'm not really complaining, I'm happy right where I am, it's just crazy that in a base of it's size, they can only muster up a few NB B spots likely designed for newhires and zero A spots. Same can be said for SEA.
It's crazy that they can simply choose not to award stuff they post. This is truly why you want to bid what you want and be dang sure you have % qualifiers in your bid.
Also of note, the comment about how many people are pulling out of training. I can't say I'm surprised that there are lots of people fishing for a bypass, even after repeated notices that they will not bypass. I wouldn't really trust them either.

I got a laugh out of that bold printed part of the memo because I am sure a vast majority of the 11.G.7 "issues" stem from pilots merely floating an AE bid in hopes of getting a training bypass. If they get it, great. If they don't, they invoke 11.G.7 and are seat frozen for their last 24 months at Delta. No harm, no foul, to them.

When you look at all the other provisions that didn't do anything for the 717, it starts to make sense, but not cents. You can see the boot marks on the backs of the 717. Funny enough, there was even a comment in the AE announcement about how they're seeing "higher than planned turnover," on the 717.

The 717 FO's are usually the ones who had low SSNs, got stuck in ATL or DTW, and live in another Delta base.
