The only people getting kicked out of Atl are junior people that will prob stay on whatever equipment they're on. People seem to hate training more than they hate commuting. I still think displacements from the ER will be slim to none. I thought I might get displaced off this last one with all the 320 FO displacements, I didn't move an inch. We should get a pool going.

We'll take the fall in ATL as usual.

Is it for a vacation for February or beyond February? If it is beyond February then use the Vacation Move Up on the Vacation Bids screen.

If it is for February then Set Condition > Vacation Slide....Choose the Vacation you want to slide (in case you have two in one month, it can happen when you get really old like me) ..... then choose the number of days you want to slide the vacation. If your vacation starts on the 8th choosing -4 makes it start on the 4th. Choosing +4 makes it start on the 12th. You can also select a range of days and it will try to use the furthest out slide first and then work back through the range. You can also use the "Else Start Next" to try various slide strategies with different bid groups.

I'm tired of training. It'd be nice to actually settle into a category.
My bet is there will be displacements in every category but the DC9 in ATL.

And I don't mean the sky is falling so we're displacing, expect furloughs, maybe the bubonic plague.

I just think the intent is to staff the 717 in such a way that is 88 MDs and some DC9 AEs and they'll massage it to make that happen. But hopefully I'm wrong.

The crew resources update that was just put out said there would be at least 100 crews for ATL 717 and they may possibly open up DTW in addition to that. Too bad they aren't growth airplanes (at least initially). Going to be a lot of displacements.

It'll likely need to pass about 150 crews in order to break into growth (parking of the 9).

Our codeshare partner is really enjoying the hawaii flying we are helping them with.



Anybody remember the good old days when 767-400s went there out of ATL, SEA, SFO, LAX, a 767 from SLC, plus 757s to the out lying cities and NW with 757-300s from SEA, SFO, LAX, plus a 330 from MSP?

Yeah... those were the days.

So what you're saying is my reasoning of not going to SWA because I want to fly international is becoming flawed?
