Displacement Results
I have been notified that I have been displaced to Cincinnati. This surprised me because I thought I bid the 767ER out of New York before the B737 in Cincinnati. All is well though since I will still be able to hold a line in Cincinnati and this also avoids sending me to training for another aircraft. I should be able to commute pretty easy. Cincinnati is only an hours flight from Atlanta. This way I also avoid the cut in pay that the MD-88 brought with it here in Atlanta.

B737 Displacement
Looks like I have a decision to make. I have been advised that I will be displaced out of the B737 Atlanta F/O position. They are moving some 23 F/O B737 positions to NYC. I have many choices to choose from but only three that I find viable.
1) Stay on the B737 and avoid going back to training on another airplane but sit reserve in NYC. This may require going a "crash-pad" in NYC for days I have to go up and sit reserve but not get called out on a flight.
2) Hold a schedule on the B767-300ER and fly international (TransAtlantic routes) out of NYC. This would be a raise of about $2.50 per hour. Would have to commute from Atlanta for each trip. This flying would be a little more boring flying long 8-11 hour legs with fewer take-offs and landings thus making it harder to get real proficient on the plane. The pay also carries an additional $3.50/hr int'l override pay though.
3) Hold a schedule on the MD-88 here in Atlanta but take a $7.00+/hour cut in pay. This would allow me to avoid commuting to work but would have to fly an additional 11-12 hours/month to make up the difference in pay from sitting reserve on the B737 here in Atlanta. This flying would be a lot more work with up to 5 legs per day. Most all the flying would be on the east coast and east of TX, OK, MI.
What to do, What to do. There are more pros and cons but that about sums it up. Vote on my poll to tell me what you would do.
