from Hawaiians 8-K:

Quote:

Hawaiian Airlines today announced the signing of a MOU with Airbus to acquire 16 new A321neo aircraft between 2017 and 2020, with rights to purchase an additional nine aircraft...The new acquisitions are also contingent upon Hawaiian signing new agreements with its pilots and flight attendant unions...If new agreements are reached, the fleet expansion is expected to generate roughly 1,000 additional jobs at Hawaiian.

The issue with iCrew this morning appeared to be a result of our IT guys having a rather rambunctious night last night.

Vacation viewing question: I'm in Icrew. When I look to see what vacation days I have available to bid (bids/vacation/initial vacation/display individual vacation days to bid) it shows a -7 days for "vacation days awarded". This tells me it already knows my primary vacation week.

Ok, I just can't wait to see what I gots! However, it won't let me see my vacation data (bids/vacation/display VTS data/set the date for a year in future) and just says "display of vacation inhibited while move-ups in progress". I don't understand why move ups would be happening on the 8th, as the VacationBidding Guide Dec2012 page 9 says,
"Bids close at 0800E on the 1st of each month and awards are posted before 1800E on
the 4th of each month."

Ok, that's pretty self-explanatory I know... but I'm hoping someone out there knows another way or backdoor to see what I have? I didn't bid any move ups, so my junk should be stable.

I have a serious feeling I got the week of 22 Dec off, or at least Thanksgiving, as a junior lineholder, and I want to check if I'm right before I rush out to buy some lottery tickets based on my winning Delta Vacationweek nums. Any help?
Thx!

Anyone hearing any rumors(well maybe something more factual) that will make more transparent the reason our TA was completed so quickly? Seems there has to be a solid "wow" coming that will give this pilot group some pride for getting this thing done, I have a hard time believing the news of 717s, Virgin, Pinnacle, more RJs is it....but maybe it was the cumulative of all those??

The word "overstaffed" has tripled in use on the fleet analysis by crew planning! That's something, right? :eek:

That 717 can't come quick enough. I think I would be fine with a step down in seniority just so I could avoid the multiple closet blocks from the FA when I think about making a move to get my bag. Come on multiple 5-leg days!
