SD was in the ATL pilot lounge this last week and stated that we MAY have more displacements. He said this a few months ago at one of the Phase of Flight deals as well
Problem with this is that they need the bodies in the big jets next summer. They do not want to displace more than they absolutely need to, since they will be retraining them back in the bid jets in a few months.
Because of the matrix, they were planning minimal to no displacements. Like I said if you see them right size the widebodie positions, then it is because they do not see a need for the staffing in Summer 2010.
As of a few weeks ago. Q1 2010 looked like a good turnaround.
Sailing is correct in saying our yield is down. It is down near 12%+. (The real number is dynamic and changes by the week) What that means is that we are very close to being red for the whole year.
I am thinking to take a VD this time around. Maybe even to the 88.
