AirWis or Comair

We are upgrading and transitioning as there was a cancelled bid but also a vacancy/displacement bid which will put some new captains in the left seat!).

How do you figure the displacement bid will put new captains in the left seat? 49 GSO captains and 28 MCO captains are being displaced. There are 68 vacant positions on the 70/90 and 9 on the 50, both in CVG. No new slots in JFK.

So, 77 captains are being displaced and there are 77 slots open. How does that equal new upgrades?

(E170 beats a clunky CRJ any day)

And he can tell his buddies that he's pushing big metal.

OH/AWAC is a coin toss no matter how you look at it. Both good pilot groups, both getting undercut by many.

Hard to believe from the Comair of a couple of years ago that is even a question!!!Just goes to show nothing is ever guaranteed

You also forgot to add that reserve at JFK is barely two months (seven weeks in my case). How long is it at AWAC?

Two months if you want a line in PHL.... ORF is the longest sit on RSV, and DCA is somewhere in the middle.

SJS much? You know it might be a good idea to base your career decisions on the important stuff like pay, work rules, time off, etc. I mean if you want to fly a nice brand new Airbus 319 for Skybus versus a clapped-out dirty UPS 727, well good luck with that.

Couldn't agree more....

CaptainV; I simply looked at the vacancy awards and noticed there were about 8 or so FO's upgrading to Captain. That is an upgrade. It doesn't make up for the cancelled vacancy bid but at least it is an upgrade.
