LOL, We shall see. I have a nice cushion, no pun intended, in NYC. I just hope I don't go too junior on reserve.

If what S/F is saying is correct, I believe that means they will be displacing a ton of DC9 people (all of them?), which should fill up the 717's, but what about the 737's, will those be 'funded' by displaced 757/767 domestics?

I guess we may see it sometime tomorrow.

I'm just hoping I don't get backdoored by the AE too much...

Let's see how +717 works out for us.

Depends on how many are willing to go to NYC. History has shown not many. Eager to see the bid. Good luck to us.

wives don't like it when you forgot to bid.

women never will forgot to bid. if you know what I mean.

well, except one. and I like to remind her how I got a C in mate selection. one day she'll come back with a snappy response like she obviously would've failed had she taken such a dumb class.[greensmile guy]

I saw the writing on the wall when I was 15 from the bottom of ATL M88B in Fall 2011 when they were closing MEM. This AE however has me completely perplexed. So many pieces with some WB spots opening up and Capt positions available on NB(717). 320 displacements, 737 opening in DTW, DC-9 closing. It would make your head spin if you tried hard enough. I don't think the junior peeps are eager to see the bid, we're eager to see the end result.

Those things take time. The 321 thing seems to have some good foundations with it via flight ops mgmt.

That's the truth.
