No charter here...pure 91.

Economy is tight everywhere, but our company seems to be positioned OK. Bossman had a company-wide "come to Jesus" meeting last week about the economy and weathering the next 3-4 quarters of slow business, but went out of his way to reaffirm the "NEED" of our new airplane set for delivery in March.

We asked him last night if he knew of any way we could lower our costs (already saved over $7K since late April in contract fuel and over $4k by shopping insurance) and he said "Best thing we can do is get the new airplane." Is there any better answer to hear as a pilot??

Next time you turn left base for 17L at SDF, wave...you're over my house.

Yeah, sorry. Not my fight anymore. Sometimes I get these flash backs and that nerve flairs right back up.

'da Blue is still okay. Back to reserve but that meant 20 off at home in Denver and weekends for October. I miss lineholder pay but the schedule helps the sting.

What kind of airplane are you guys getting?

Enjoy your bidding power while you have it I know a lot of guys trying to get into LGA. I am trying to get out of ORF and into LGA, but I know four guys in RDU trying to come up there too, and a few in Philly. How's LGA treating you?

Is this the same reliable sorce that we got SkyWest is getting MESA's 900's or PSA is getting Horizons 700's or maybe PDT is getting Horizons Dashes? I heard a rumor from a reliable sorce that CapeAir is getting the 1000's to do international flying for Southwest!!

Air Wisconsin has not taken an airplane since 2004. We have been shrinking ever since. The only news that we had was a UAL RFP that has gone dead for months. I cannot see this company expanding unless the AWAC ownership takes lower profit from its partner.

I will believe it when I am in a domicile other than the ones we have for Airways.
