I would actually expect the opposite. I think there is no way it will be as large as 25 A's and 35 B's. It will be less. Because 2 reasons. 1. "New categories" will break a seat lock for the first 60 days of it's existence. So, if they do Oct and Nov AE's small, and a "large" bid in Dec, they will minimize the number of folks who can break a seat lock by putting the bulk in Dec or later. And 2. They have 150 days to train them, so they can hold off many of the traiing events for 61 days, and still have 3 months to 'surge' to complete the first 3 AE's worth of training. Coupled with holding back any base transfers to the end of their window, they magically have a large number of simultanious pilots trained/ready for 'opening day'.

BTW, 60 days from tomorrow (4 Oct) is Tuesday, 3 Dec. Setting them up perfectly for a 6 Dec AE for the bulk of the positions, and avoiding breaking many seat locks.

FWIW, my prediction is 10 A's and 15 B's in a 4 oct AE.

They did? Where/when did they say that?

Wouldn't that trigger some sort of NB Ocean crossing pay that went into our last contract?

My guess is the senior non airbus guys with 1.5 years or less will just ride it out in NYC. They’ve already been commuting for years so what’s another year. I’d guess that guys that have 2+ years left will take it.

No, because the 321 in question won’t have a Delta livery.

I kid, but the equation below makes sense to me. I know it’s a dead horse from the GS debate.

(BOS base) + (NB ocean xing pay) + (limited NB global scope) = partner airlines getting any/all NB crossing that might come.

I talked with a 765A I know who mirrored this sentiment. He said all the 63+ BOS guys he talks to are not going to switch.

Supposedly its 25As and 25 to 40Bs

Maybe we'll know here shortly?

Almost 1000 Mecca time and not AE letter on DLNet Crew Scheduling....guess it isn't happening today.
