So you do the math.
Things at Boutique are actually good with relatively few CDOs--way less than there used to be. They are flying more pax and routes than ever, so if that's going downhill, then ok dude!
More hiring and classes happening in the weeks and months to come. I will be here for at least another six months. There are rumors of flow through being established.
None of the PHX captains were willing to fly with him either...
On the flow topic: we have the senior Vice President of United flight operations who flies on us regularly. Talking to him indicates United and BTQ are looking at sitting down and talk about what a relationship between the two companies may look like. Keep in mind United already has a flow straight to narrow bodies for ATCA (Lufthansa’s flight school) flight instructors in Arizona after they instruct there for 18 months and meet the ATP Mins.
