Not a bad photoshop for a MS Flight Sim amateur.
Pretty cheesy to superimpose it on an actual photo for your corporate website.
Sort of like a cheap toupee on an old fat bald guy!

If you are about to be on the street, maybe this place would be a place to apply, they must be hiring someone to fly these jets.

They won a large lawsuit against AMC who pulled them off the fly list as Murray I think - maybe under the National banner - in any event they are backed by a hedge fund and are using the money from that suit to position themselves for the growth. As my grandfather used to say "You can sell from an empty basket." Looks like they went after some big baskets.

Should be a pretty stable job, since it is very well supplied by tax payer's money. I don't know what your pay is, but I hope it is good because the Gov't pays your company well.

Default Staffing model?

I wonder if National has put any thought into how they will crew these aircraft. To make $ using an airplane, you've got to keep it flying. 34 pilots (National's current list, according to APC) is about enough to crew 2 747's using my company's staffing model, which I'm sure would be described, at best, as 'lean' by most other companies (6 CA's, 12 FO's per aircraft).

Even I can do this math:
5 747's = 90 pilots (30 CA's, 60 FO's).

Want to be the #1 FO on the list flying 747-400's? Let's make a deal!
