Senior BA FOs did get a chance to bid Left Seat under some agreement between GSS and BA...don't know the details but it did cause some rift between senior GSS FOs and those BA guys coming over.
Titan, I guess, is a possibility. But before we beat that drum (!!), it is also possible that the 36 FNGs announced and targeted to the 747, they want to deploy those 3 x 748s here at Atlas.
Above notwithstanding, it is a daunting task to place those three into good, stable, ACMI contracts in this market.
Other than the airplanes coming back to us, and the jobs that it creates (upgrades and new hires), I'm not at all glad to see this happening...and we'll see how this plays out over the next few months.
Ahh, the GSS thread on pprune is going through the roof right about now...!!
