Things for us are looking good, we've got folks moving to Delta and elsewhere, upgrades still moving along, performance looking great, and plenty of folks showing up to class and hitting the line.

Yup, most of the company has good movement. The exceptions are the DTW and MSP 900 captain positions as they are staffed mostly with lifers and the DTW and MSP 900 FO positions because they are staffed with guys not interested in upgrading, but those spots will slowly start to open as those SSP FO's are going to start going to class at Delta in the next couple months. There are FO's that are upgrading holding Delta CJO's but most have at least a year to wait before going to Delta. It seems guys with less than 1 year to wait are just sitting with good FO schedules until class time.

Uber pool is $20ish. My plan is to pool for early trips and bus home as long as it's not too late..
Bottom line is absolutely doable. PM for more..

Yeah uber pool is a great deal, sometimes you can time it right and get it to yourself. Whenever I subway in/out I'll be incognito, that way you just look like another overpacked tourist. Granted, if your flight case is plastered with Boeing stickers then it's a lost cause.

How are the LGA trips? Do planes overnight in base? Where I am currently at, we have an LGA base but don't leave planes there overnight. This leads to almost all trips being commutable on both ends.

Mostly you won't see LGA on a 4 day. There are some out & backs on reserve or in Open Time, but even LGA based you'll see plenty of CVG.MSP DTW et al. Lots of fun flying.
I'm not worried about traveling in uniform. i saw several guys with wings on the bus. Manhattan at least is probably the safest city in the country...

Exactly, idk where this rumor has come from that MSP and DTW is closing.As with any new base opening that's where the majority of new people are going to be sent until they have the staffing numbers there. Same thing is happening with Skywest opening up in DTW, same thing happened when Compass started LAX flying. That's just how it goes unfortunately.

So where does the confusion lie? Status quo = as is?

Idk I guess a false impression because of where all the new hires are going, which as a new hire I wouldn't worry about being stuck in NY if you don't want it. I got awarded the 900 in DTW on 16-02 and went back to look today at the award. I guess a revision to that came out earlier this week and there we're still 16 iirc secondary spots for the 900 in DTW. I didn't look at the 200 but you definitely won't get stuck in NY like I said. That and there's a lot of people who live in the NE that wants NY. I'm curious to see what 16-03 is going to look like next week.

Yep. Management came into class today and told us by next year the NYC area will comprise about 65% of the 9E flying. About 30 mins later we all got our assignments. 100% LGA/JFK with the huge majority on the 900. With movement, hopefully some of us can get back to the midwest before long.
