Well some of you we way off! It's out. BOS 330....50As and 75Bs.
Pretty boring AE otherwise. They keep adding FO's on my category, with the excuse Additional A/C, which it's said for quite a few AE's now. But for some reason these new A/C seem to not need Captains...strange lol.

the mainland US to Hawaii. When Ocean Crossing Pay is triggered, the pay override will apply to all ocean crossing segments during that bid period on all aircraft types (including B757/767) that are not
at the top pay rate. Ocean Crossing Pay will also apply to individual ocean crossing segments as a result of a narrowbody aircraft (except the 757) performing unscheduled flying that was not contained in the bid package (e.g., charter, substitution).
Example: The June Bid Package has an A321NEO flying between JFK-DUB. For the June bid
period, every aircraft that is not paid the top pay rate (to include the B767/757) that flies an
ocean crossing segment will receive the override of $8/hr for Captains and $6/hr First Officers

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.

Ahh, good point. Forgot about that nuance. Though since they opened it so large, it seems they aren't terribly concerned with minimizing the seat lock breakage...

77 Widebody A’s…. And still a potential conversion prior to vacation bidding. I put my money on this bid taking us over 5000 to hold Widebody A. Depending on how much they limit backfills in other 330 bases of course.
