AMS-MCO was flown by the 330 as recently as late 2022/early 2023.

What do we think the chances this Boston base actually plays out on the next couple AEs? Or did crowdstrike mess that whole thing up

Has anyone been contacted about this AQP course? Curious if seat locks, training timeline.... has been figured out.

It hasn't. I asked Contract Admin and they are still figuring it out with the company. Whenever it happens I would hope for a comm from ALPA...

Honestly this is the perfect time to open a base. Hiring needs for the year will be met by October with a pause in Nov and Dec (and thus minimal new hire sim/OE training in Jan). This next AE should have a training window right in that period. Lots of slack in the training department to manage the training required.
