Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
#2753
I'm not sure but someone else could probably elaborate if there was a recovery at least in the future bookings (or the yield of future bookings since that seems to matter more) and there were some vacancies that needed immediate attention how quickly could we ramp up hiring and get someone off OE in time for summer? Even if it was just the group of 08 new hires waiting on class dates and such at least that'd be some people coming in.
Just curious. It seems like 3 months would be plausible on the 88 (and I'm sure DC9) but I don't know about the hiring part.

Forgot to bid..........
Great avatar........ahhhhhhh the little crash 10.
The joke when I was a MEM DC-9 guy was that it was the bubba jet. The little -10 was the stubba bubba, the big -50 was the hubba bubba. What does that make the MD-88 (DC-9-88)? Insert jaw breaker joke here....

I'm for monthly equipment bids as well. Did you guys know what equipment/displacements were available before it was awarded or just have a standing bid in?

ACL, you have lots of good info and we certainly thank you for it but I think you are wrong here in regards to this AE. The only pilots subject to displacement on this AE are the CVG 76/75 category pilots. If too many of those displace into other categories, then there will be another displacement bid to fix that.
Another note on the AE, just because this AE is only for the ATL 777 and 7ER CVG, this will cause all sorts of movement throughout the system. If a NYC 73N guy with the seniority to hold the 7ER in CVG bids it, then he will move to 7ER CVG, thus opening up the 73N in NYC. Some categories because they are FAT, won't backfill, but many will. If you want something, BID FOR IT, no matter where it is. You never know what kind of movement even a small bid will produce! BID WHAT YOU WANT, WANT WHAT YOU BID!!!
The card posted by our NWA brother really looks very similar to the computer model we use on ecrew to me. The only difference seems to be that NWA does it every month and we have been doing it about every quarter for the last year or so. I think one difference is that the computer will delete things out after an AE is awarded, so you have to check (update) your preferences after an AE if something has changed.
