Yo Slice,
So far, none of the routes announced involve any of the new aircraft. So - for the time being - it is shuffling. I do agree with you that there will be a net gain in airframes once the -300s start arriving. * 73 ;) The new service announced yesterday starts with two flights in April(5 777-300ER's on property), one in May(6th -300ER), and one in June(7th -300ER on property). Six current 772 flights have been announced as upgrading to 773's. That allows those 772's to push into new markets (ICN) or replace current 763 flying which frees up 763's for other routes(DUS). IMO we'll announce another 3-5 new w/b routes or additional frequencies in existing markets before the end of next summer due to the 10 773's we'll have by EOF2013. |

New routes, new hiring. Rrrriiiiight. All smoke and mirrors. Please, APA pilots, don't be fooled. Stand strong, and keep ensuring those aircraft are extremely safe and well maintained, right through the holidays. As far as I'm concerned, Horton timed his "cafeteria koolaid" perfectly in time for the holidays. Translation, we announce hiring and growth, pilots are injected with optimism, and the operation trucks right on through the holidays seamlessly. Meanwhile, Nov 1 approaches... tick tock 777-300 pay rate would be in the proposed Group 5 pay rate. Nothing set in stone yet until we get a contract. |
Stephen Wolf used a similar phrase at USAirways. Turbo Growth, more airplanes coming than god can count. ToHo learned from the Wolf.

Special Jetwire posted today...
" As part of our plans, we expect to hire at least 1,500 new flight attendants over the next year and create approximately 2,500 new and recalled pilot jobs over five years, which we think will lead to about 1,300 Captain upgrades. " |
What's going on with the potential merger with us air and amr?
