Considering an aircraft purchase of that size is a pretty big deal, I doubt there are a dozen people that would know about it unless it’s announcement was imminent.
But, I guess one of the ramper’s sister’s hairdresser would probably be one of those dozen.
As far as any of the non-WOs loosing flying, SKW just added a bunch of planes to the contract. If any of them loose anything it would be Mesa, but even that has been extended, albeit in a slightly reduced and constrained manner.
I really don’t see PDT growing. I think when ever the rest of 145s do finally start to go away from ENY the total number AAG flies will just be reduced. Don’t know the age/hours/cycles of PDTs aircraft, but I just don’t see them doing much more than they are now. But that’s just a personal SWAG.
