September '10 Bid's Nuts and Bolts

Welcome to the seasonal slump in flying. The Nuts and Bolts say it all...



In September COS has 351 total pairings. FA and FF.
141 are on the CRJ 200.
210 are on the CRJ 700.

Trip lengths for Spetember include:

128 Locals.
94 Two-day trips.
30 Three-day trips.
99 Four-day trips.


In August COS had 474 total pairings.
188 are on the CRJ 200.
286 are on the CRJ 700.

Trip lengths for August included:


250 Locals

112 Two-day trips
45 Three-day trips
112 Four-day trips



Having some eight guaranteed reserves is both a blessing and a curse. Finally, we'll be able to drop a trip. But with as little flying as we have, I can't imagine there will be lots being dropped. It is just so violent of a change that it is really hard to swallow. Several who had a line in August will be on reserve yet again. That is very demoralizing. A little better news for us is that we officially have a new SAPA RSR for DEN/COS. V. Tensei. There has always been a little discontent in having a single person represent two domiciles, especially domiciles that share so much flying. One recent RSR really made a lot of COS crews mad in telling them that if they wanted better flying they could transfer to DEN. While there is a bit of truth to it, I hope that this RSR will fight to keep some good flying in COS and not just an occasional pairing or two. 

Good luck bidding and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
