When is the first airplane scheduled to show up? If they are training crews starting in a month or two, some will get the summer off. Granted it is a 365 day bid, so you may not go to training for a year after the award.

I agree with you. The company is desperately trying to bribe people to bid B717. I'm hoping over 75% of the B717A and B717B positions are filled via MD.
Did a little research with the assistance of my trusty dispatcher. The proposed JFK-HKG will be a 777 flight. The 744 doesn't have the lung capacity. The only question is will it be ATL getting the positive space commutes or DTW? Of course this is only mentioned out of my own personal best interest.
I only recently really looked at/analysed the AE. Of course, the results will be the most telling, but IF this AE is the end of the bad news, we are gonna need some bodies. Boomer better get that resume' polished up.

I think it was originally supposed to come in August and enter service in September. The real issue is IOE.
Some guys will get the summer off, but it won't be as widespread as is being hoped for. Still, I'm glad there are pilots who want to bid and fly the up, down, up, down domestic equipment, especially the more senior guys. Why? Because it invalidates the arguement regularly posed by DALPA that "you don't really want to fly that."

Like I said, I hope I'm wrong. If right, I'm going to stop paying attention to these CR newsletters and various emails. I'd rather be a uninformed pilot than a misinformed one.
