210/hr X 80 hours per month equals about $202,000 per year.

The planned current retirements seemed to have been slowed down. I don't know if they are getting heavy checks however. There do not seem to have been any major reductions in captains positions in the 757/767 fleet. FO positions are down but we were carrying a big surplus so you can't take away much from that.
It may be they extend some of the airframes until the 321's start arriving. I am not convinced however that airframe is a real 757 replacement. Lots of air buses stopping for gas on transcontinental the week before Xmas including a few new 321's. Winds did however really suck. 175 on the nose over BUF. The 757's were fine however. |

Jumping in late but I have heard a number for -200's of 60 or 72. I know a heavy check on a 75 is 9 to 10 million, of which 6 mil is the motors! Too bad as its twice the airplane of a 321 or 737. Heard the 900ER's are already underperforming. We can only hope.....

I've done multiple legs DTW to West Coast with a completely full 900. Never had any issues...except we always start out around 280-300 - go up to 340ish about 1/2 way.

Perhaps the new game scheduling is playing is to put everyone on short call day one then assign a long call trip for the next day while you are on short call. You are obligated to acknowledge assignment while on short call, therefore you don't even have the ability to wait until 3 hours prior to make the trip illegal under part 117.

I think what he is getting at is that when they call you on short call and you answer the phone - Bamm they gotcha! :eek: I don't we are afforded the option of hanging up on them because its more than 12 hours out. :) Scoop |

ER airframes will be converted to transcon domestic for a total of only 7 domestic 767's. The plan for the 757's has not changed. There will be a total of 70 airframes parked by 2017. The rest will get heavy checks and stick around. All 757-300's will stay. The 757's are going to be reconfigured for 199 seats except the transcon airframes. Not sure exactly how you get 199 seats in the aircraft with a first class. We had 199 at Song in all one class. There is one possible change in the works. We are working on a long term sports charter contract. If that comes through then 10 additional 757's will get heavy checks with 60 being parked. Near term retirements have slowed but the number of parked airframes 3 years out has not changed unless that sports contract comes through. All of the above subject to change. 25 757's have been parked so far. |
