hey all...
so I got a FRA white slip out of JFK for tomorrow. Was just notified that the first leg has been cancelled due to the effects from the hurricane. Does anyone know what this means for me for the rest of the time I'm supposed to be on the trip? Will I essentially be "on call" for the duration? Also just got a call saying my schedule has been "relocked" - any idea what this means?
Edit - I just checked my sched, and the white slip has been 23K'd. I'm not sure what this means.
Thanks everyone.

The 737NG utilization is probably already maxed out.
The loss of the 767 in Atlanta is going to be painful. Wonder if the 717 will end up senior to the MD88. Lots of people are talking about bidding it.

You get paid for the original WS if they don't use you.

It is interesting to see how network deals with the loss of 7 or 8 757's. I figured the 320 and 737 would back fill. Instead, it appears more than a little "757 domestic flying" is bypassing both of those jets and going to the MD90's.

That 40 767B displacement out of ATL is going to be murder... most if not all of those guys can hold A, though... so hopefully they go and grab one of those positions and don't cascade down too bad.

DTW:
Losing 15 320FO :
GAINING 16 777/744 CA slots
. . . . . . . .2 DC9 CA slots
. . . . . . . 13 777/744 FO slots
. . . . . . . .2 DC9 FO slots.
Net increase of 18 slots
MSP:
Losing 22 320 FO seats
No gains, but the DTW CA slots may offset if commuters bid to DTW
SLC:
Losing 20 320 FO seats
. . . . . 20 73N/7ER CA seats in LAX/SEA
It will be interesting for sure. Overall good news for once.

SLC should be a good thing with west coast commuters hopefully being able to to get back out there.
MSP is definitely negative- their demographics are similar to ATL with a very low amount of commuters.
DTW is overall positive with narrowbody displacements and growth on the widebody side.
Remember, the big positive bid is the next one! (

With my research on AA, it should would be nice if the union had published the FPL data like the resolutions that were passed a number of times told them to do.
With AG, it was easy to verify that he has a captain award. Here, the union's own lack of transparency is making it difficult to verify (or discount).
