Air Tran 426 ATL-MDW diverted to CHA. I was flying SDF - CAE (Grumman Cheetah) and also diverted to CHA due to the weather. The first time I saw a super cell airborne. From the FBO we could see the 717 parked across the ramp. Radome gone, shattered cockpit glass - very humbling.
Quite a memorable day. Blue Angels were also on the ramp for the weekend's show, Rene the FBO CSR, and of course, CHA is the home of Krystals. Untitled Page |

Witnessed a nonrev story today.
Family of 4 nonrevs get on. Dad gets a seat in first class. Mom and kids are stuck in coach. Turns out that we are short one seat in coach. Mom and kids will have to get off. Dad remains on and enjoys his first class seat leaving his young family at the airport. What do you think he will get for Father's day? |

Furlough bypass pilots have spots in the first classes, then once "off the street" hiring begins, the remaining MSA flows (9/month, less than 75 remaining to flow...Help MESABA??!)and pre-divestiture CPZ pilots (20/month with a rolling 12 month cap, roughly 400+/-) are placed in classes. The remaining seats available are then filled with a ratio of eligible PCL SSP hires (max of 12 per month or 1/3 of remaining new hire seats, whichever is less), and then "off the street" hires. All schedules are adjusted by slots required to place FUR BYP pilots in first classes (max 203), but likely 1/3-1/2 will return. So say Delta runs 2 classes a month at 50 per class: total 100/mo Jan-Feb: 200 FUR BYP Mar-July 2014 3 FUR BYP (Mar only) 20 CPZ 9. MSA 12 PCL 56 Off the street (59 Apr-July) Aug 2014 (maybe earlier) 9. MSA 12 PCL 79 off the street Sept 2014-Feb 2015 12 PCL 88 off the street So say Delta runs 2 classes a month at 25 per class: total 50 Jan-Feb: 200 FUR BYP Mar 2014 3 FUR BYP 20 CPZ 9 MSA 6. PCL 12 off the street Apr-July 2014 20 CPZ 9. MSA 7 PCL 14 off the street Aug 2014 (maybe earlier) 9. MSA 12 PCL 29 off the street Sept 2014-Feb 2015: 12 PCL 38 off the street Then: Mar-July 2015 100/mo 20 CPZ 12 PCL 68 off the street OR @50/mo 20 CPZ 10 PCL 20 off the street Aug 2015: 100/mo 12 PCL 88 off the street OR @50/mo 12 PCL 38 off the street (shown to illustrate how real allocations would work in certain scenarios, not a projection or guesstimate) |
That's really freaky. All this hail talk had me remembering Capt West... I'll never forget his emotional interview, felt so bad for him. Thanks for sharing that sad news.
Y'all be careful with that weather. The FOM is pretty clear about not tangling with storms. Deviate or divert. We get paid by the minute. |

Someone mentioned that it could be as few as 30 new hires per month. What would that breakout be?

JB West was an Eastern scab, failed 2 upgrades and damaged 2 ValuJet aircraft. Everybody makes mistakes, but he had quite a string of them.
GT, Sounds like he had some issues, fair enough, but he is gone and its Fathers day - perhaps we can end this discussion or at least steer it in a more productive direction. Scoop |

It needed to be said. He was a disgrace to our profession. We are better off without him. Let his family celebrate his life, not us.

+1, my Father flew for Eastern, the right way.
It's like setting a building on fire, but getting everyone out. Are you a hero for getting people out safely? Carl |
