A whole bunch of "fully vested retirement" Minnesota resident 330A's are now faced with the harsh new reality of commuting to work. I think the over/under on early outs just went up.
Why punish your body for such a small marginal gain over the amount you could be collecting from the seat of your bass boat.
Delta is going to write them a check for an extra $100 large if they go now. Its a no-brainer.
Prediction -- A follow-up AE in August to fill some senior capt slots.

As far as Boeing goes, there is a lawsuit/inquiry going on with the NLRB (or one of the Boards) about moving a 787 line to South Carolina. I heard that if the move was done to punish the union for not being willing to sign a "no strike" contract this last time, it is illegal. Looks like Boeing is facing an up hill battle.

I dont know how much is reported on the 787 pos or how much you guys track it, but I am not certain that plane will fly in revenue service without a redesign and significant insourcing. Boeing is going to destroy its first 20 jets, almost every fuel tank delivered from the outsourced (Japanese?) manufacturer has to be re-manufactured/re built once it is in the plane -several man weeks per tank and a 100% defect rate.
Its not a jet to get excited about.

Ok... I give up. Where in the ALPA file library is the bid analysis??
That site gives me a headache so bad.

At times you will be frustrated with the Airbus FMS/MCDU. For instance, if you load the Palace5 in the box for DTW & are told to intercept the airway (rather then go direct DUNKS) then you have to insert SVM, because the MCDU must always have a TO & FROM point...or an anchor point.
Also, you can't line select things into the scratch pad. Overall, it's a comfortable airplane, but it'll keep you on your toes.
