Cap'n,
I tend to agree with you about SLC. SLC 7er is a new category so anyone wanting in will have to bid it as an AE. So any current SLC 767 who gets it will get it as an AE and not a displacement. This will cut down on the displacement bids. I can see a few guys not realizing they need to bid it as an AE and not as a MD and as a result they will be displaced. There are going to be some but you just never know how or why guys bid what they bid. It's all a crapshoot any way. I understand the angst and certainly hope I'm/we are correct!

Whoa. Be careful. I'm pretty sure that's incorrect.
New categories are filled in seniority order whether its an AE, VD or MD.
Any of those will work.
The SLC767 guys definitely want to use the MD. To avoid an AE freeze.

AE's are awarded first, then VD's then MD's. If they don't AE they may not get it. Trying to MD just to avoid a freeze is a gamble IMO. Plus, I believe it would only be a 9 month freeze since they are already 757/767 qualified.

This sounds "fishy" to me. The current SLC 767 pilots are getting MD'd. The company runs the AE and all slots are filled. Now if the SLC pilot that gets MD has the seniority to knock someone out of category he is in. If he does not have seniority to knock anyone out, he never would have been awarded it via the AE

I thought the company did AE's and VD's first to AVOID as many MD's as possible. That's the way I understand it.

Did anyone take notes at SDs deal in NRT? I was there but with free beer and food I forgot to remember to take notes No, actually we got back from Saipan at the very end of the event. Big deal and it appears to have gone over well.
