Not trying to rain on your parade, but that is factually incorrect. They are simply saving crews by basing them in theater. At some point we may see some expansion but all FDA slots are to become more efficient with the flying we already conduct. Upgrades just got outsourced, unless you want to chase it...for the foreseeable future.

But who knows what will happen when the company cranks up the "economic difficulties" machine and leaks rumors of furloughs, excesses, cats and dogs living together, etc again.

Now we can connect the dots all the way back to the FDA LOA and that lovely STV clause those crazy 32%'s like me tried to point out. We have seen how the company interprets 4a2b when they want to renege on BLG buyups. Now we will get a whole new reading on FDA LOA Section D! Enjoy involuntary HKG TDY's boys and girls! 30 days away from home while only earning normal BLG! We'll all be working for half pay like our tenured over 60 boys soon!

They have been talking about putting MD-10's over in Asia for over 9 years (about the same amount of time that they have had them). They are not working out in the States like they thought so what make anyone think that they will work in Asia where it is hotter and more humid and a hell of a lot more hills! Just look at what is going on with flying out of TPE and going to CAN, you have to go to the PI first! That really helps the cut off time. Like someone already said, I will believe it when I see it painted purple.
At least that's my 2 cents.......
