Our completion rate is already almost back to where it was pre cleveland. Attrition and attraction of new hires is the new challenge.

Is it double? How many pounds will you burn iad to cho?

106 miles ord to azo the erj 145 burns 1100 pounds over the 26 minute flight. The total cost to operate the flight is $900 that's all costs involved.

On a 30 minute flight the savings is almost doubled. The Dash 8 300 I saw our burn from GSP to CLT. About 21 minute for both planes since its so close really no difference in flight time.
Dash 8 almost 800 pounds
ERJ almost 1400 pounds

But once you starting flying over an hour the savings gets smaller because of speed.

30 minute hops you can't compare.

A few people in the May class will be going through the ATP CTP program. It's great news that we got approved for this.

A question for the C5 pilots anyone hear about C5 and Great Lakes merging or any kind of business deal? Seeing alot of the C5 management coming through PHX and it seems that they are heading towards 135 ops as well. Anyone hear anything? I have heard there is a big announcement next month. Not sure how any of would make sense but something seems to be brewing.

Haven't heard this one yet. Highly doubt there's any truth to it.
