IAH. The time is already allocated. Take who is doing said flying, and that is probably a good guess.

This stuff is very fluid and will change five times prior to May. No use worrying about it.

Not to worry, I'm actually the same way, and I figured that was all in fun. As amatter of fact, my wife just got home last night from a trip at 1:30am and we both got a chuckle from the SH comment this morning. Keep those cards and letters coming. Ha

Heh. I'm so close to the bottom of the ER that any discussion of the ER moving around gets me concerned. But, I thought I was going to get displaced in the last AE, and I didn't. Who knows.

As for IQ, you never know who is on this board. If you wife is north of 163 she probably has most beat
In reality who cares. We are just "dumb" pilots and they are "dumb" Flight Attendants.
Most of the FA's I talk to are very interesting. Multiple Degrees, Masters, PHD's. When I ask why they do this, the answer varies. Some have husbands that make the money, and others really do not care about money and want to travel, some just got stuck doing a job they generally like. It is not all about smarts. Some of it has to do with your time outside of work. Both their job and ours allows opportunities that you would not have otherwise.
You are of course correct again.

LOL I've taken the 210 to the 57 to avoid the AM rush-hour.
Its an extra 40 miles, but 1 hour less than taking the 5

Nice calm ride down PCH to avoid the insanity of the 405/101 intersection....

Of course that only works for LAX.... tack on another couple hours for SNA.

2) Guam base

3) Short manning for the summer.

What's the latest?


I heard from a reliable source 50 ER crews to SEA.

Probably expand the base over several bids..... I keep hearing from different sources that SEA will grow quite a bit over time. This is going to cause moment on the West coast. Many SEA PDX guys flying out of SLC and LAX. I've met a couple of guys going to SLC320A & B that are SEA commuters.

50 Crews, do you mean 50 Captains and 50 FOs? What about ULH flights--those crews have 2 Captains and 2 FOs. So far I have seen PEK and KIX added nonstop from SEA, but I would suppose more is to come. I would also think DTW 777 will build up a bit more since there will be 3 daily (or almost daily) 777 flights to HKG, ICN, and PVG, and I think the last bid had 38 Capts and FOs? I think the CVG ER group will be displaced on this one too. Good luck to all involved!

I'll have to try that. I need some new landscape anyway. Sounds like a great idea. Thanks George!
