That is their issue, they have and are looking to sell assets. Go look at their cash position.

ACL - Care to comment?

Fresh out of the ER training house: AE due out soon, to include the reduction of system wide ER pilots up to 400.

You seem to know when AE's are due out...are you hearing any of this talk?

Baja.

Just received an email from Ken Kersey crew planning. I will not cut and paste because it would be inappropriate, but he did say AE this week and that it was not a "mega bid". His comment about "not a mega bid" was in reference to sharing with him the rumors on the line about the 400 ER pilots slots being moved or surplussed.

I personally think that anything like 400 in one category would be mega....

Default By the way!

This thread really has turned on a dime!



I think the bold typed language worked!

A 400 pilot reduction is huge. We are not that over staffed by two country miles. We may be 35-50 pilots over in ATL. System wide maybe 150, but that is for winter block hrs. This summer were were short, very short.

AE will be out this week. It was to be out last week, but as we have seen, they did not get the final go ahead.

FYI 400 pilots is all the line holder FO's in NYC, or 80% of ATL. Do you really think they are going to stop flying the ER that much?

If anything 400 is the total 767 ATL domestic pilots left in category. They have the right to transition them to the ER and reduce that category to nil.

FYP, from what I have gathered, the size and scope of this AE has been significantly paired down over what they were thinking.

Much more enjoyable couple pages here... I was getting tired of wading through 90% Dalpa/DPA stuff when checking for AE rumors, what the 88 guys are up to, what life is like for the LAX step-children, which airlines are buying what, etc. etc.


It seems like it's high-time for an FTB post of "When's it gonna be the AE bid?" Friday spoof.

They've found the smallest bid turns out being mega.

So this rumor has been bouncing around, again, I say it's very odd to do it where the very same months crew planning news letter says no MD's off the 767.

Anyone else heard anything like that?

The LAX step-children agree. Move the ALPA-DPA stuff elsewhere.

FTB has a picture he'd like to post.

It'd earn an infraction though. But it's funny.

The stuff you find while looking for something else on google images searches. But if I may, google image searches can really screw up your computer.
