Well, on a different note, I went to a Fltops management meeting and here are some of the highlights:

- Do not anticipate getting any 787’s for 18 to 24 months
- MD 90 qualification for NYC in Fall this year, ATL in Spring of next year
- Next AE Bid in Sep-Oct time frame
- Possible additional 747, 777 crews
- possible a few more 7ER crews in SEA
- SLC to ER category
- status quo for equipment base re-alignment…no equipment moves…..do not Want to “chase revenues” with base changes. Equipment requirements can Change fairly frequently on routes
- some DC 9 positions available too. Keeping some of the -40’s until 1st Quarter of 2011- I don’t know how many
- 40 crew schedulers total of which 28 are in their first year
- 330 bases staying where they are now. Possibly change later next year
- Hiring
- 305 this year
- 115-120 total flow ups
- as of 17 jun, 46 furlough bypass have sent in letters to come back
- preferential interviews for guys who had class dates canceled last time
- 2100+ apps in the system
- Project retirements to be about 10% for those 60 and over.
- Shipset jepps for 330 in July and 7ER in Oct.
- 2% capacity growth this year. Close to where we were pre-recession
- Should be 8 SAS MD90 coming. (SAS was what was said) Trying to get more
- Current debt of 16.4Billion. Expect to see that at 15 Billion by end of this year!
Aware now of the extra gas that the 330 seems to be landing with
