Allthough, I agree... ALPA National may lopsidedly favor major airlines over regional. I had my first taste of how ALPA is different on different playing fields. XJ PBS training included videos, definitions of each available bidding preference, and points valuation. 9Es had cool pictures of Yoda and Anchorman, and basically said bid low medium high. Just wait til the junior XJ guys outbid you. It's coming if that is your level of understanding of the system.

MEM already done, DTW Last flight I believe is Nov 4 (displacement to post in 2 weeks), BOS being shrunk in Oct (displacement to post in 2 weeks) and close early next year, LGA last flight Dec 24, MSP closed by end of this year. Lots of shuffling will happen from this though IAD Saab is still looking like the most junior place to be.

MSP - Same as DTW
LGA - Dec 23rd, Reductions before probably
BOS - Reductions Thursday possibly, close sometime in near future ( gut feeling December, and talk around the base agrees)
Its about 100 FOs and 100 CAs total

I'm thinking about bidding the crj in jfk and I was wondering if anyone knew what seniority you'd need to hold a line there? Or where I could looking up?

Because all those bases closing have senior pilots in them = they get their pick of where they want to go and if the company does not want to be over staffed on the positions they pick they kick pilots out. Dont start getting the too good for the Saab attitude. It is alot of fun!
