My bet would be 70/30. There are a lot of DAL-S guys up here that have been relegated to commuting (including present company
) and now have the opportunity to be based were they live. It will be interesting to see the bid. I say it will be out by 4pm Mecca time on the 18th. I still have a chance.............I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Was thinking of bidding SEA, but I wonder about crashpad type locations? and I believe the 330 will draw down on the next bid anyway, so I wanna see that play out first. What are some good areas to live within say a 2 hour drive up that way?

So the 22 aircraft at Freedom that are a part of this ruling I thought might end up in your old stomping ground ACL, what do you think now?

There aren't a lot of F/O's that used to be based in PDX or SEA for DAL, even if both positions naturally have people living in the Northwest. My guess is CA's go ridiculously senior, and F/O's go senior-junior, with the bottom half surprisingly junior. When I took a look, it appeared there were comparatively less pilots senior to me bidding SEA 7ERB, v.s. some of the current categories.
As far as "North vs. South", I would guess nearer to 50-50. I would also guess some 330 slots open on both sides, for a handful of people in each seat that are tired of Reserve. I would guess those are back-filled by North only. I haven't seen any South guy go to the 330 yet (not saying it's not happening). For whatever reason, I think the South guys look more to the 764, and the North guys the 330, when they're in that seniority range.

Question for the contract/scheduling gurus out the. We used to do DTW-NGO-DTW in 3 days with a 15:45 layover. What rule or part of the contract requires it to be a 4 day trip now. Just want to know why I am sitting around an extra day here in Japan now. Getting tired of sushi.
Nothing - only ULH has to have the 48 hr layover.
Is the aircraft sitting there with you? Or is it being used? Sounds like a question for the SOT.

Arent the Freedom planes all ERJ-145's? His old stomping ground doesnt operate ERJ's so i doubt they'd take on a new type of aircraft just for 22 old beat up ERJs. Now the block hours may get shifted to other companies depending on what Ma DAL wants to do.
