New topic. Any idea/rumors when the next open base bid is coming out, seems like alot of people wish they didn't leave ATL 200?

Probably soon but at some point I imagine they'll start enforcing the seat lock.

What makes you think soon? Is that for the "Miami" stuff or would that just be a regular bid interval?

I don't think you'll see Miami before March, but just a guess. I do think we will see a vacancy prior to then, however.

CSIP: would that first bid of the year have something to do with Air Mekong shutting down?

well, I'd assume another bid soon as well. They've hired 150 FOs since October, and 60-80 are scheduled for classes in jan and feb. They've only upgraded 40. Dunno what they're gonna do with all us FOs. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to work 60 hour months, but it doesn't make good business sense.

Are the 40 DAL 900's going to Pinnacle? Also does anyone have an idea what is going to happen to the ERJ side with the new UAL contract? Seems like 50 seaters are on their way out.

All the 900s are going to Pinnacle, all the ERJs will be replaced by MRJs, and Santa is going to bring you a Wii U. Any other questions?

If the pilots pass the TA, which I believe they will, Pinnacle will get the 40 900s. And at those pay rates they are guaranteed to get the remaining 30 options.

Delta sure knows how to wheel and deal. Pay off all the FOs to go away, give the soon to be downgraded Capts hope with a flow to the interview while locking them in at 38/hr and senior Capts at 87.
