and most of the min/max numbers are TIGHT. This bid will be backfill city. Bid what you want. Want what you bid.

It looks like they are really trying to thin out the WB FO ranks though. All 777 bases except LAX/SFO are a 20+ split, and all 787 bases are 10+ split.

Has nothing to do with thinning out the ranks. The training pipeline for those two fleets are pretty full.

Don’t know if I’d call it “HUGE”, but hopefully it’s the beginning of something:

This..
Keep in mind, we are going into the winter months, then the spring. Believe the final training date for this bid March '18. Still slow time.

I would expect another type of bid in Nov/Dec, and some bigger bids in Jan/Feb (depending on delivery dates~)

Of course, the next KW (Korean War) may put a screeching halt to all of this. Unless of course, these smaller Airbuses and set to replace thirsty RJ's~

Always
