Hey guys. Sorry for the ignorance but could someone explain to me how we know people are leaving? I've been here 6+ months and my seniority number on the live list (CrewTrac) hasn't move a single digit. On the FLICA list (just bidding pilots, doesn't included MLOA and other LOAs) I moved 9 numbers between Sept and Dec system bid. I assumed that 9 was just additional LOAs on the huge pile of LOAs already shown on the CrewTrac bid qual list.

Thanks for the info.

I believe everyone is listed on the system bids. Even those out on leave. I think those on leave can bid they just arent includes in the active number. They dont take a spot from someone else.

The sys bid is the most accurate. I've got 3 seniority numbers depending on where you look!

The 9 number difference from last system bid to the current one would be accurate. 9 left in front of you. Surely you don't believe the moron who keeps claiming pilots are leaving in droves?

Ok thanks gang. Any ideas why my seniority number isn't changing? What gives with that? They not adjusting those as people leave?

Your number changes twice a year in crewtrac and most other places you will see your number. The seniority list on hellojetblue changes twice a year and that drives the number you see almost everywhere else, except the system bids.

On another topic. What luggage does everyone recommend for commuting - preferably one that fits in overheads wheels first. Been corporate for ten years - don't think my ebags mother lode rolling duffel would work. ;-)

I use and recommend this one. The stabilizing strap for the j-hook is nice to have. Most seem to use some version of this bag, but other opinions could be useful.

This is a metal frame, DO NOT GET A PLASTIC FRAME!

I second Bluedriver on that one. I've got the 26" version, and I'll probably get the 22" version of that one later in the year. I can't use the 26" version since 1) it won't fit behind the FO seat in the 190 since the stowage area isn't designed for a bag that tall and 2) it sucks commuting since I have to stow it long ways. I think I used it twice: moving in and out of the crashpad. It was great when I was on reserve at the regional and was gone for 5 days at a time, but it's too much of a hassle now. That being said, I've had it for about 7 years, and it's still trucking.
