Apparently the first one is down in MIA getting new paint right now.
Until I see it on the ramp, it ain't real. But I will take my summer and fall off, thank you. Watch, OE training: "congrats FTB you are off August, September, October, November, December right up until December 24th. We have a two day for you for your IOE." FTB "Wait, what? Christmas? Man I'm getting screwed!!!" :D j/k |

The 717 rumor has lasted a long time though. Still haven't seen any.

Ugh, I feel like Scoop just kicked me in the junk. Probably dead on accurate, though. United is definitely scooping up some folks that I'd think DAL would love to have. 4000 hour mil guys retiring, combat vets, etc. I suppose that many highly qualified regional guys too. We are passing them all by in the name of saving a buck.

Oh I'm in. kachow! http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com...34779021060004 "....airlines would like to reduce pilot costs. For example, instead of sending four pilots on a long-haul flight, they could send just two; one flying and one ‘in reserve’. The traditional answer to pilot error has been to have two pilots monitoring one another according to agreed standard operating procedures and crew resource management techniques. The ACROSS project is looking to replace the second pilot (at least temporarily) with automated systems. In particular, it will investigate advanced avionics to allow pilots to cope with peak workloads and deal with crew incapacitation. It’s a common joke among pilots that 99% of the time they’re massively overpaid. The job is easy and routine, especially with today’s highly automated cockpits. But 1% of the time, you can’t pay them enough because of an emergency, bad weather or other critical situation. This is where it really helps to have two pilots and so these are the areas where Across needs to deliver. In the first instance, the project is looking at allowing single pilot operation to give crew members a chance to rest or to help a single remaining pilot land the plane in case her co-pilot is incapacitated. Beyond that, the roadmap is clearly towards single-pilot operations." Would You Fly On An Airliner With Just One Pilot? - Forbes |

You could get rid of nearly 1,200 pilots overnight if you removed 1/2 the 744/777 crews and made the 765 and 7ER Bs match the size of the As. http://image.slidesharecdn.com/acros...jpg?1366641345 http://image.slidesharecdn.com/acros...jpg?1366641345 |
