Heh. The "moar tripell sevins" rumor is perpetual.

And bigfoot would be an improvement.

All I can tell you is the next class is all 777 pilots and they're talking about adding instructors to the 777 training department. Add that to the number of F/As being hired for the DFW base and I smell the SonAir contract coming our way.

My Atlas contacts say with the Amazon contract they're seriously studying dumping their passenger service.

Not disputing; just saying. All the rumors always have logic to back them up.

Who knows? Maybe this time it's for real, but I'll believe it when I flush the lav.

Can't wait to get junior assigned TDY to Angola.

Atlas just renewed the contract with SonAir and SonAir owns the airpanes.

The class is probably all 777 because of all of the attrition.

Dropping PAX flying would probably be the only way we could staff 767 freighters. Just look at out new hire classes? Omni may be attending the job fair this week, but what do they really have to offer?

I'm pretty sure that seeing how you are still new, you really don't know what your talking about. As an ex Alaska pilot, I would think you knew how to avoid koolaid.

Just reporting the rumors. Take them for what they're worth.
