For example, there is a school house rumor that Bedford believes he will be able to staff ADDITIONAL 145 flying once a TA is reached..........so just because this is being passed around should we sound the alarm that upgrades are going to fall to under 2 years at RAH with all this new flying? No, of course not. It's just as silly as saying the 145 is done because there is one less aircraft line in Jan.
Reference your schoolhouse rumor: I hadn't heard about additional 145 flying, but Heller did say that Delta wants the 50-set flying to continue, should RJET be able to staff them.
The problem is that a TA won't turn the place around....and neither will this "shiny beads and shallow flattery" method of culture change.
