BTW what about your golf score? Fill us in, are you that good or is that a handicap?

I routinely shoot a 64. I do even better sometimes on the back 9.

I was wondering how man nines it took to shoot 64?

Thanks!

Merry Christmas!

With 1/2 of the pilots being on the snapshot most of them are just moving to the 747 in SFO or 777 in LAX. Only 2 FOs so far have indicated guppy Captain as their choice. One in DEN and one in LAX.

They are both in the 5,000 - 6,000 seniority range.

Today's snapshot has another FO going to Guppy Captain in LAX, so now its 3 total. The rest all to widebodies. One 747 FO going to 777 Captain in IAH.

It looks like my prediction of 5 or 6 is going to guppy left seats is going to be close.

The rest to west coast jumbos.

I'm only seeing 2 on yesterdays snapshot. Where do you see 3?

Also, does each snapshot show the cumulative results from previous snapshots or is each one a stand alone record?

Two to LAX and one to DEN. This is only half of the pilots in that base because the others haven't preferenced.

Standalone.

Many pilots won't telegraph their plans to crew staffing so the snapshots are meaningless other than for entertainment. I know several of the snapshot bids in the last run are bogus and won't change until the night before they close.

The entire of a "snapshot" is ridiculous anyway. They get to go wherever their seniority can take them. So its not like a guy needs to see where he is going to end up on the list. He can just look at the current list and then see where he is going to be.

I also noticed guys changing their displacement bids as well on the SEA 777 one. Not sure why they would do that.

The 12/26 snapshot now has 3 going to guppy Captains in LA and 1 in DEN. The rest are going mostly to LA 777 FO which is going to have another bump because that is a small base that can't handle 30 new FOs.

For the most part they are avoiding the guppy and going to the 747 in SFO or 777 in LAX.

I think my prediction of 6 going to guppy Captain is going to be really close. We are at 4 with about half the FOs preferencing.

Actually the LA777 base can handle it. You forget that the 777 is taking over the SDY route causing new vacancies in that plane. There's almost 20 guys leaving LA altogether, creating more vacancies in the hub. No secondary bumps at all. And with many 73CA going to 787CA those handful of guys going to the 73 will be easily absorbed.
