No worries about for SJU for anyone...believe that. So I think you'll get your wish! 27 CA and 12 FO positions being displaced out of SJU and no vacancies...you'll be alright. With SJU having only 33 rountrips a day starting soon they will be at the proper staffing level there.

I think most EMJ guys are in a good spot. Hopefully. Hopefully all of us are at least in the range of keeping employment!

I'm glad it's over too and await the results. I have a thousand guys under me co-wide and 220 in base so I'm sure I'm safe. But I feel for the junior f/os who can lose their jobs and the junior captains who will lose their seats. It's sad, man. I hate what's happening here even though we're better off than most regionals.

Hoping the results will better than expected!

So are we supposed to have a preliminary flow plan soon or do we have to wait until the 4th to get the official thing? This Sucks!

How many people proffered minutes before it closed? The truth shall be known very shortly.

If anybody cares to post their happy/sad results when they come out, please feel free.
Unless you live in ORD or DFW I hope you do not get the CRJ. You will be unable to bid back out of it back to a base nearer home.

I'm currently a 2 hour commute from Dallas...and if I got ORD I would plan on moving back to the midwest to be close to the base. Of all the bases we have - only DFW, ORD and MIA interest me. So being at DFW or ORD isn't that offensive to me.

Well, I swear I had an email saying that we would get prelim results by Weds...but that didn't happen. Now I'm hearing Friday. Which I hope does happen. The official results we'll have to wait to the 4th for. And yes it sucks.

But you can use it to play with your friends. I walked into the crew room today and asked if anybody knew anything...and a friend of mine said that the results were out and told me to check my HI44. Which like a dumb-butt I did...and then got laughed at when I told him it wasn't working.

It's a date! I've gotten through many a long day of ready reserve by doing that.

Although I did proffer to be displaced to Dallas so hopefully I won't be there to look for gojetters with you.

I hope the preliminary stuff comes out tomorrow.

it's not HI44, its HI69/displacement/date ... try that it should work.

Pontius, let me just say that your a good sport.
all S1 people had been discussing the displacement when you came swaggering in and asked if the bids had come out yet. I mentioned that they had and all you had to do was check the hi44 on sabre. When you came over and started talking about sasquatch being proven we figured you knew we were messing with you. when you left to check the s1 captain mentioned we should tell you no information was an indication of furlough, I just couldn't keep a straight face when you got back. btw i'll be sitting pretty as s3
