There was an operator using Cessna 414's a couple years back, but we bought tickets on American (American Eagle ATR). Not sure if they do this still, but I would not advise non revving. Those flights were all full.

Wow. That's a pretty broad brush to paint 60+% of your co-workers with. I guess everything is black and white for you.

You have over 11,000 posts on an interweb forum about your job, and you're giving "life's too short" advice.

Clown.

Yes, Cape Air runs C402s between SJU and EIS, I've done it a few times, they are very good to nonrevs. You can jumpseat (you'll still pay a small departure tax, both ways) or use a ZED pass for family members that aren't jumpseat-eligible. Cape Air was still paper ZED as of last October.

Even though the planes are small (9 pax), they tend to get nonrevs on - when the planes are full, they often add a second plane to accommodate everyone and their luggage. November is still low season.

Last year they also began flying to Virgin Gorda, I'd check into that if your trip begins or ends in that corner of the BVI. There are ferries to/from North Sound & Spanish Town.

Gonna do any sailing in the BVI? PM me for gouge if so.

But don't forget the $400M per year more in pilot costs that this way costs them.

No, I just don't have my head in the sand like all of you "yes" voters.
To reiterate what Denny wrote, that's a pretty ignorant broad brush statement about everyone who voted "yes" on the TA. (Whose got their "head in the sand?"):rolleyes:

You can research my previous posts. I was neither a "yes" vote on C2012, not was I a "no" vote due to my MLOA to OAKN. So, instead of rehashing something that was already over two years ago, coincidentally the same amount of time that your beloved Southwestern has been in Section 6 negotiations, why not focus on openers due to be exchanged in less than a year for our side?

Foul. Some might say all the "no" voters do. Pigeon holing your fellow pilots is not cool.

Upset that they haven't accepted the first marginal proposal put in front of their face like you did?

Perhaps they'll fall for a "sign this and we'll grow" deal. Worked for Delta.

Yeah, because they've knocked payrates right out of the park. :rolleyes: BTW, Delta mainline IS growing.

Nu

That's correct. Nov 2014 is also a NLT implementation date.
