I doubt that even if a good deal came up they could absorb any additional aircraft into the system. We are getting 5 A321/737-900’s each month and almost 1 A350/A330-900 per month for several years. The Cseries will add to those numbers.

I heard Delta is getting a great deal on some "gently" used T-37s for our new ab initio program.

Those aren't nearly expensive enough for a true quality ab initio program. To shave a few precious hours off its better to go full glass twinjet from hour one LOL

Don't think they are out yet. You can check on iCrew though:

Bids --> Vacation --> Display (VTS) data --> "X" in the "Vacation" square and look for the results. That will show you all of your awarded vaycay.

Anybody have a 172 at PTC airport willing to rent it out for primary lessons? My son had just begun work on his private when the owner of the plane dissolved the business and sold the plane. We now have a a bunch of C172 stuff, a willing and experienced instructor, but no plane. The instructor has been trying to buy a plane himself and keeps hinting that he could use a partner. I don't want any part of an airplane but I'd really like my son to get back to flying, it's about the best carrot I'v got when it comes to his (crappy) grades!!! Anybody out there with a 172 able and willing to help? I suppose a 150/152 would work as well.

Thanks!
