Any comments to LM's letter in the V files today?

Read it two times and didn't get anything out of it...:confused:

So when do we start flying out of those us air gates exactly??

I hate to admit it, but it sounds like the perfect "f" word setup.

This is a little simplistic, but here is my take on it.

With this AE, as well as the AE that starts all of the SOC action the junior guys are going to be flying the -88 no matter what as people seniority start actually matching what equipment they are flying.

Might as well get some of this training done now (and pilots will be ready to fly if they need them depending how fast this NYC this gets done).

NYC-88 is the most unwanted seat in the company. Sending people there is safe. It makes sure the seat goes filled and if they need to move people around later they would have no problem finding takers if they put out an award for other bases...displacing would not be necessary.

The training will already be done and there will be no other equipment these guys can hold in coming AE's anyway...it makes sense.

While there won't be much reduction in widebody pilots this will put a slight dent in some of the training that will need to be done (swapping people around). This will most likely be the new -88 guys last stop for awhile.

Did you read the whole LGA announcement last week. Those dots are not too far apart.

What's all that white stuff on the ground? Looks slippery. I'm scared.
