I am going to be double legt uter (I know bad deal, no choice) to EWR hoping to get to IAH as soon as I can to be a 1 leg commuter.
How would I go wrong going to 76T where I would fly instead of sitting in a crashpad v. 73 where it seems no one is flying and I would pay to sit in a crashpad.
I think I am still missing something....seems folks still say go 73???

The party on the 76T is over folks.......Half of the 100 bids were filled
(Hint: they don't need 100 or even 50 more FOs in EWR on the 76T. The outcome of this bid is going to F@ck the companies staffing even more)
Those new hires that held a line will be solid reserves once again after this bid is filled.

Only one LHR flight has 730a show VS 4pm and later shows for the rest of EWR flying. JFK has 530a shows which obviously require commuting the night before.

With 50 more guys coming in on top this may cause bumps. The fleet is shrinking this year and they can only staff what they have for captains. Last I looked there are 48 in ewr on 76t and 105 FO. With 50 guys coming in and 50 new hires that's 200 FO. Anyone else see the problem with this?

Agree. In March there were 6 DCA based 76T captains TDY in EWR, I was one of them. That was just to cover the three EWR to LHR flights. TDY and W types trips from other bases is a small bandaid to the manning issues going on system wide at the moment.

Its crazy to keep hearing about the manning issues when we have so many guys not flying in the junior fleets. Gline is in the 40s for the airbus in newark and we have 94 FOs. I know its a much different story elsewhere.
