I don’t think Bob knows it’s a leap year yet. The Feb bid month with 31 days is really going to muck things up.

Wish (Bid) for the moon. But be careful what you wish for, because you might just get it... Sound better? The point remains, there WILL be people who get 'suprise' awards, so don't complain if they are junior to you.

Put your bids in without regard to what was published in any AE memo.

As the 7ER LAX flying is wound down what platform is going to take over all of the routes that start out of SNA? It seems like a majority of those are done by the ER currently.

They have a long time to figure that out. I think people think there’s some shutdown of LAX ER. It’s going to be a while for that and whenever that happens anyways there will likely still be 75/76 flying out of LAX and it will just get staffed by NYC/ATL.
Like I said we are doing SEA-HNL again right now with LAX crews. It doesn’t mean every route gets disconnected. SLC/MSP/DTW still has 75/76 flying as well.

the ER only does ATL and DTW. The rest is done with 220s. I believe DTW is a 320 in the summer too. I think ATL/NYC could pretty easily fly those 2 flights.

Vikings, pillage. LoL absolute truth for MSP. MSP is a great commuting base as the locals tend to not be competition for those commutable flights on the front and back of a rotation. So I guess there's that?? Thanks for the laugh this morning

Not a bad thought. I mentioned before on here that an MSP base would make sense. I guess it just really depends on how long they plan on keeping the 71. I have to imagine that's a large factor on whether they'll reopen the category.

Leap year combined with summer storms in ATL are always the X factor. 🤣
