Apparently some staffing and training decisions are going to be made later this week. At this point it's rather opaque.

Funny. Maybe now that the TA didn't pass they will need more pilots then they thought, that's a great thing!

How does the 12-month category freeze work with AEs? Do we have to be off our freeze by the time the AE is posted, or after the projected conversion date?

Very nice, that's what I figured, thanks for the extra detail. I am sure all the 73N bases will want to get in on the action, it will be interesting to see how crew skeds flesh out the mix, or whether its primarily LAX and SEA guys flying the trips...
I wonder if the trips will be built as 2 leg 3 days worth about 11 hours with the 24 hour layover and red eye home? I hear those aren't too desirable from a pay stand point...
Also, I am guessing the loads will have to be regulated. I am not sure how a fully loaded -900ER will take off out of Kahului/Maui with a 6995' runway and fly for 5.5 hours to the west coast with step climbs along the way. I guess we will start with HNL and go from there.

If an AE is posted 8/1 closes 8/11 earliest conversion is 9/1. Your freeze ends 8/27. You can bid and be awarded an AE

Tablet question.... Turned it on this evening after using it this morn and the SCL big "link" to select it (under the Jeppesen Flight Deck) is GONE! No idea where it went! Called the hotline, on hold for 20 minutes and then forced to leave a message. Trip tomorrow afternoon. Thoughts???
