-15 Q's starting delivery, they expect to use their options for more. No plans for the Q in HOU yet, all 15 new Q's going to EWR
-HOU is a senior base, don't expect it
-Plan is to run a class every 2 weeks
-Aug.20th class is for the Q, expected to be mesaba pilots. Aug 10th last class for new hires until they get responses from mesaba pilots. I'm sure they will continue to interview because they have to fill the classes so if not enough mesaba guys fill the class, they put in new hires.
Can anyone who works there comment on ground training and sim training?
The Qs might be going to HOU?
Is management trying to compete with the Super Shuttle?
I can just see the lines they would build with that:
Day one: HOU-IAH-HOU-IAH-HOU-IAH-HOU-IAH-HOU-IAH-HOU-IAH-CLL all with 15 minute turns.
Now THAT is one good rumor
(Sorry Graham, I just had to poke fun)
