Scambo
Lets put it this way, I have heard about a number greater than 5 and less than 15 330's but it keeps going back and forth.

As it pertains to the 744 I have heard that we may be getting a few more than the rumored four and a possible sim, but that IMO the sim is more conjure. I read the memo as 744 training done in NATCO but was written this way for a reason.

We stand to gain quite a bit of flying and quickly. Most of this should be known prior to summer.

We're going to need all the sim time and the some.

Look for an additional sim, soon....

That in my book is a big deal, Nu. "All the sim time and then some?" Hummm. Sounds like growth to me.

Thanks
What are your quals? I do not make the hiring calls so it may not be for quite some time

If you are asking when we will start calling for interviews, all I will say is that it will more than likely be sooner than many think.

I now see that you are a recall. Check your PM's.

Nu, has good info. The money men have been very busy and these are aircraft that will be very good deals for us.

Let's see, if memory serves me correctly, a rumor started my Nu and (Opus) later verified by someone else, is how the NYC/LGA US Air gate swap rumor got started.....

I did not start the LGA stuff. I kept my mouth shut on that one, I just told ppl who asked that I had heard it. That is all.

Ya know some of that needs to be kept quiet.


FWIW, they have been stating no new jets for four years for the last six months. Well we are getting a bunch of 90's and ppl swore that I was full of bs on that one, and guess what, it is coming true. Lot more than what they have announced too. With these large jets, the deals could fall apart as we are only going to take em if they are really really good deals, but I bet we take em. The deals seem to be that good.

Exactly. I did not break that one, I just agreed with the info when it came out. Also I just tweaked the numbers a little bit for clarification
