2 a month coming from China Eastern thru June, the last one in July
The certification of seats with IFE is what is holding up the show according to SD, he thought we would have the STC by late March, April.

- All blue leather seats with seatback Panasonic IFX
- 160 seat mod some galley components removed, last I heard the aft portion of the forward galley is gone and the carts go in "the space formerly known as the pilots closet..."
-I would hope big bins at least on one side, else it will get ugly...

CVG crewlounge has the export certificate for the first China Eastern MD90 posted.

OK, I'm scheduled to go to DC9 training in June. If I successfully displace from it in the May bid before I convert, do I still go through the whole training, just to retrain again shortly thereafter? I'm guessing yes, but sounds like an insane waste of money to me..

Per the PWA you will be converted. If there are reinstatement prior to the conversion dates of said pilots, the company MAY decide to opt out of the MD training.

22-15:
15. If, prior to the conversion date, a posting of multiple VDs or MDs for the same category
is partially canceled, such cancellations will be proffered and then assigned in the
following order:
a. proffered in seniority order among pilots who hold MDs,
b. proffered in seniority order among pilots who hold VDs,
c. assigned in seniority order among pilots who hold MDs,
d. assigned in inverse seniority order among pilots who hold VDs.
