Now that the October bid sheets are online, let me be the first to welcome AA''s newest FA base, SLT, to the club. SLT is of course the AA base created alongside the LLC base, STL. 23 FA''s have completed week two of the three week program and will go on the line Sept 23rd.
The new base has six bid lines on the MD80 (sorry, guys, it may take me a decade or two to start saying sooper 80) averaging ten days of flying each. The lines consist of very efficient, but grueling, 2 day trips worthy 12:30 to 14:27. Six (count ''em, six) reserves will fight over 5 reserve lines and there are 4 availability lines. The new HIBOARD should prove to be an exciting place, although with only 16 people holding everyone should know everyone''s phone number anyway.
The new minibase won''t grow until AA resumes training, rumored to be this spring. We''ll see what develops.
