Yup...it's been bad alright. I'm completely out of yellow cards.

You still got a few red cards though, right? Throw some of those around.

Are you saying you regret not being around, right as the dogs and dudes were posted?

Not exactly....although my wife and I were away for a few days hanging out in Hollywood and going to a concert. We saw quite a few "dogs and dudes" that were, tragically, much more bizarre than the ones posted on our thread. Yikes, there are some freaky people out here.

On a positive note, the cops on Hollywood Ave are starting to bust the guys that dress up like characters and beat the crap out of each other every night. Its fun to watch Superman and Sponge Bob throw down every now and then...but it freaks out the kids.

Since all I see these days are MSP and DTW, I'm sort of starting to dig it. I also like the MEM layovers. Can't even attempt the Lutefisk thing, though. I've thought about it.

Well since we are heavier on the dogs in thongs then latest and greatest info, I will attempt to put us back on track...

Here are a couple of nuggets I have gotten over the last week or so. Some were direct info some were dots connected, feel free to confirm or deny.

The 305 hiring number has been pushed to 450 to 500. A few things are holding it from going further north. The slot swap deal and the slowish economy. Good news is bodies are needed!

AE info dejour. No narrow body moves this time but there are some widebody and 7er moves coming. Expect to see the 330 come out of Seattle and move east. My guess it will happen next spring as they pump up the 7er on this next AE.
***** This will be interesting as SEA was VERY senior on the 330 and went very JR on the 7ER. The question is will the 330 guys bid a narrowish body pay scale or follow the WB pay.

Are we still running interviews? Or have the announced slots already been filled?

Caddis, what are you hearing as to the WHEN of the next AE? I asked crew planning when I was speaking to them about another issue, and basically got no response.
