This is purely optimistic speculation, but given the company's opportunistic approach to aircraft acquisition and their recent bond issuing announcement (which was subsequently rescinded), I wonder if these rumors don't coincide with Air Berlin's plans to shed 75 aircraft in the next few months. They happen to operate high-capacity Airbuses with CFM engines and given the German nature were undoubtedly meticulously cared for.

, but that idea is still in the early stages of talks with another company and would require some sort of a partial merger.Like I said, this is just wild speculation on my part.

The question I have is, however, is how is the training department going to keep up?! They are supposed to be accelerating the diminishing of the -80 fleet, which means a lot of guys transitioning as well. The school house in Florida is what, a year away from completion at least? They don't have enough instructors in the school house and the check airmen are backed up. I don't see how they can handle it.
Let's hope some of this banter is true!

Training could always be outsourced if needed. There are sims in DEN/MIA with certified instructors and it could be made available for the right price I'd imagine. If podunk regional airlines can grow 100% year over year when they get a big order (like Compass and Mesa did last year) then Allegiant can. Even cheapo Mesa has often sent new hires to Copenhagen to get things done.
