Where are you in the pack of displaced from your category? They displace/train from the bottom up. If you were nearer to the bottom, you'll go sooner. BUT...when Sooner is, is anyone's guess. They could hold you on the -9 all summer if they don't have a 717 for you to fly until August. But if you were displaced to the MD88, and you were junior on the 9, you could go ASAP.

I am on a mainline flight that connects to Pinnacle. Mainline wide open - Pinnacle a few seats. I don't think a S-2 would do any good (or can be used even if I anted to) since the mainline flight is wide open.

Does this sound about right?

Thanks Scoop

I didn't think we could be any higher than S3 on a DCC. I thought S2 only worked on DL mainline.

I could be wrong, ask my wife!

Your S2 only works on mainline, you travel S3C on all DCI (ok see spoofer data on GoJets below, but not IAW all the info on TravelNet). All Delta employees (FA, pilots, etc.) are treated the same with only DOH as the discriminator. So on pinnacle you go behind all their folks travellling S3, but your DOH helps you if competing with other DAL folks travelling S3C.
Don't burn an S2.

BTW... spent 3 days getting out of HNL last week, ended up buying a ticket. No problem getting there, but there were approx 20 HK for every flight showing up last minute and 100 on the non-rev list. So I had 3 days to study the list for every flight lol. Plus I commute on DCI.

LAX 73NB-- I see 5 added to the cat, but I would have moved down 2 and had 3 flow in behind, for a 3% gain. I think you're there hey?

I was able to use S2 on a GoJet DCI flight.

Default Some Geewhiz AE Analysis

Because I was bored and like you guys so much...

Here's some quick schematics on the award.

581 total AEs, 157 to same paying equipment, 160 to lower paying equipment, 264 to higher paying equipment.

552 total MDs, 210 to same paying equipment, 132 to lower paying equipment, and 210 to higher paying equipment.

74 total VDs, 54 to same paying equipment, 12 to lower paying equipment, and 8 to higher paying equipment.

For a sum of 1207 awards, 421 to same paying equipment, 304 to lower paying equipment, and 482 to higher paying equipment.

(equipment and seat are interchangeable - for example, they'd get a raise going from DTW 744 F/O to ATL 717 A)

For the 717A, of 145 total positions, 102 were covered by AE, the majority coming from ATL 7ER FO (37), and the next highest bunch coming from ATLM88 CA (27). 43 came to 717A via MD. The majority (23) coming from ATL DC9 CA, and from ATL 767 FO (12)

For the 717B, of the 120 total positions, 77 were covered by AE, the majority coming from, you guessed it, ATL M88 FO (53). The next highest "funder" was DTW 320 FOs, with a whopping 4. 43 also came to 717B via MD. The majority (26) coming from ATL DC9 B, and 12 coming from DTW DC9 FO.

Any other questions, hit me before my Pivot Table blows up my poor laptop.

Yes - In LAX, 73NB. We had 1 senior FO leave, so I moved up 1. The other guys came in toward the bottom including George who was displaced a while back.

Thanks for the info.

According to the analysis, the category with the most upward movement was ATL 88B. I move up about 35.

Ironically by most of them going to lower paying positions.

I guess they got mind ninja'd into funding the 717 category.
