It could be 1000. It still doesn’t make it right.

 

What did I miss what’s happening?

 

I wouldn't make such a big deal of more new aircraft. There is no room for new aircraft unless you're getting rid of CRJ's, which is happening. Do people really think growth of a regional is a good thing in the long run? More growth means more time at said regional. But then again, SKW has so many lifers that they probably love it.

 

Not picking on SKW in particular but you can understand how it happens. Some people are never going to get the call due to past training failures, too many DUIs or other personnel issues, etc. others just got screwed by circumstances during the lost decade or being in a regional that died (or like Comair was killed) and having to start over a time or two and even if they COULD now now get hired at a major they never sit in the left seat again, might not even ever get off reserve again, and the pay hit they'd take the first couple years as a major FO would never be offset by the salary increase they'd get in the few years they had left. Besides, many have been in one base for the last 10-15 years and have grown deep roots there. Are they really going to want to move to a major base far away? Or commute to reserve in a crash pad rather than stay where their family is and where they have seniority up the ying-yang?

 

As fun as it is to throw around the term lifers, I can't ageee more with this. I really do feel for them and others in the lost decade. I hope they are truly happy where they are and are able to enjoy their well earned retirement.

 

Hot off the press...new COO announced.

 

They’re replacing COO’s faster than they’re replacing MEL’d APU’s.

The best part of the announcement is that Rob will still be VP of Tech Ops for TSH. I’m sure his plate won’t be full with working both of those positions or maybe they’re doing that so that he still has a job when we’re sold off before the end of the year.

 

Lol savage

"we change COOs faster than AT and PH change reserve buffer explanations" -Zing! 'here all night

 

The COO at Compass is the equivalent of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Pretty much a new one every year, but never Snape.

 

More COOs pass through Compass than my ex's legs.
