I'll never understand how "Curly", a retiree, gets access to the seniority list and proprietary Delta information, which he openly uses for profit, yet John Bell, an active line pilot who puts job hacks on his website for free, that make our lives better, gets a cease bland desist letter. I guess it's just the good old fashioned Delta South good old boy network at play.
Also, any guesses on junior captain and widebody FO seniority numbers?!

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

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.

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).
