Here are my notes from the biannual meeting of the borg. This stuff is primarily all already known public and none was confidential or unreleasable:

JG:

We are on track for on-time SOC... could be easily moved up to mid December

AE in Jan....88/90 to MSP swapping with the busses to SLC. 90ish crews to equal swap. No big moves until fall 2010. Need to see where the pieces are going to fall and they don't want to constantly move crews around bases.

LGA/DCA swap- slots we gave USair were the slots we used for RJ's out of DCA. All normal mainline hub flying out of DCA will remain. ExpecThe NYC base won't be expanded by AE immediately.

3 MD-90's are in our possession from Hello. The first one goes from the desert to GSO on friday (hooray TIMCO maintenance...). All 3 will be online by June 2010. The China Eastern dogies are available via the budget, just aren't sure that we need them yet. We can get them as the economic improvement allows it.

Changing the domestic categories to ER would be the most efficient operation, it will be a slow process especially with ATL.... in small increments (we're already seeing this).

In regards to the Jepp issues (swapping in and out airports all the time), we are looking to go to all ship sets. It will be the largest ship set product Jepp has ever undertaken, but it's looking like it will be doable. Look for this in around the next 12 months.


and then.....
