CONTINENTAL MICRONESIA LOOKS AT FURTHER EXPANSION - November 27, 2009

Continental Micronesia adding Manila-Guam flights - Pinoy Abroad - GMANews.TV - Official Website of GMA News and Public Affairs - Latest Philippine News

Continental eyes expansion | guampdn.com | Pacific Daily News

I asked a CAL buddy and he said he hadn't heard they were shrinking Guam at all but expansion is expansion and if we can expand lets do it. I'm not opposed to anything as long as it doesn't involve parking anything.

Thanks 80! Peaking in on the rumors, I've changed my mind on what to put on my cards 3 times in the last 3 hours. :D

Well you'd better tell him that Delta told them they were shrinking. That's like Chuck Norris telling you that you're doing something. It's happening, girlfriend.

Yeah, I fly for CAL, and keep track of all the smart moves management makes.:cool: Shrinking Guam is not one of them.

Cold. DC-9s are going away, but the big losses on this bid will be in ATL. About half the 765 category moving to NYC, and about a third of the 767 category gone. There will be much carnage in ATL.

On the plus side if you are based in NYC expect to move up in the world.

I am hearing that as well.( I just hope that the fact that it does not add, makes it false) It will be really bad unless there is some major back fill for the 180 or so A positions on the heavies that will be gone.

Do not waste your time until you see the bid. Trust me.

standby... I was laughing so hard over that wayward water cow and then I tried to show my wife... she didn't get it.

Aviation history, not her thing.

Question, if the bid award comes out after the 31st or 1st of January, when will it most likely close?

And by the way, had a very beautiful young FA on a trip a week or so ago. She was dating a CAL pilot based in EWR. He cheated. She got mad. She almost bid GUM on his behalf. A good reason NOT to share your login if DAL opens Guam AND you pull a Tiger Woods.

Go ahead, be a Tiger.

It can close any time they want it to, The awards just have to be posted after SOC, and they will be.

Question for those in the know. I'm currently finishing up initial a/c training in MSP and about to start OE. Someone told me that after OE was finished, that I had the option of dropping the rest of the month and just getting paid the credit that I had accumulated thus far in the month vs. being time available per the PWA. I talked with training scheduling and they didn't have a clue either way. So I called crew scheduling and they gave me a big negative. However, it's in their interest for me to not drop the last ten days of the month so I want to pursue it. Any Delta-S'ers have any knowledge of this? If not, who do you recommend that I ask?

I think they call it conversion. I got to use it last time I went to training. You have to call scheds to get converted after your OE is complete but before the LCA puts OK on your line. If you're thinking of doing this, either get him to delay a day or so or call on your cell before he can get to a computer.

You'll be able to pick up time, if you want, or just take the credit you've already accrued. Good Luck.
