Codeshare with Delta, and Silver is working on a $45mil deal to fly Q400's out of FLL for longer Bahama flights. Oh, and new manuals. Again... ALL RUMORS here folks. Believe 0 til you see them on campus, with company paint, and Silver pilots flying it...
Replacing the 1900s in CLE with Saabs would require that we renegotiate the EAS compensation wouldn't it?
It's possible but I doubt the gubment is going to just grant money because we don't feel like flying the airplanes we agreed to fly. Now we COULD do it on our own dime but I doubt that. How are the loads into CLE?
As for the Q400s...anything could happen right now but that would be at least 12-18 months away.
Anyone get the new OM yet? How's everyone liking the new R&WX? I see awesome improvements coming!
(Like not having to constantly ask for people's emp#s when you're filling out the log can)
