The hotels are different from what I've seen. Most of the hotels we stay at are nice but are isolated from civilization.
What are the lines like? Trips? 4 days, day trips? What are the average days off for lineholders so far?
Depends on the base, seat and staffing. Some months there is a good mix, other months not so much. Day trips go up to 19 days off. Reserve/Build up 11 days off. 13-14 days off is an average I'd say.
When do you expect online trip trading to start?
PBS is in testing phase now. Operational probably in a few months. Flica is in the works but it's not yet official. Hoping for Flica by EOY 2008.
What % of captains do you think will stick around, and how many hope to flow up?
Since nobody is hiring, I'd say everyone will be sticking around except for you typical attrition.
How about mx? Contracted or in house?
We have both. Most of the contracted MX guys are solely dedicated to CPS. I think we use the Embraer BNA for anything heavy.
Thanks guys.
Note: replies in the text above.
I think CPS is a good place to be so long as the DAL/NW merger works out well.
