I'd pay to see curly vs john bell in a cage fight.


​​​​​​Also, any guesses on junior captain and widebody FO seniority numbers?!

msp330 will break the 10.5 barrier. Mid to high 10’s

LAX 350B remains above 9k. ATL NB captain goes to 12.5 or maybe a little more junior.

Isn't this data available free on the DALPA site?

My guess is they are staffing up narrowbodies first and will unleash more WB positions in later AEs. Also NB fleets overall have significantly more training capacity

also 65 WBA will create plenty of WBB contingent vacancies. GoFlexGo

Hope you are right on this. I can’t hold SEA/MSP330 yet but I’ve conceded my race until the end of next summer. By then I’ll be a low 11-high 10. Only thing that I’m gambling I guess is age 67, but I don’t think I’d want to get a 330 slot then be the plug 2 years anyways when I can still fly intl on the ER. That seems like buyers remorse waiting to happen. They also said on this AE they may not award all the 330 slots too.

I wish I had the cojones Flex has to go for NYC330 but man I can’t do it. So I’ll live vicariously through him for the next year.

I agree, and it makes sense, but it seems it’s been a while since there was any number of WBB slots. But I’m still in the big AE mindset where they’d be awarding positions now, to start staffing up for next summer. With the monthly AE’s, if it continues, they don’t have to get serious about numbers of bodies until November or December bids, with training January-April. I’ll get used to it right around the time they go back to big bids.

100%

Im guessing next month’s AE will be relatively small due to less training in December and the end of month surge for the holidays.

October’s AE will ramp it up again for training in the slowest season (Jan and Feb).
