Waves,

99% of my posts are in jest, as was the S.H. comment. My money is still on your wife. :)

Scoop

Via Wiki:

Pacific Air Lines Flight 773 was a Pacific Air Lines Fairchild F-27A airliner that crashed at 6:49 a.m. on May 7, 1964 near San Ramon, California, USA. The crash was likely the first instance in the United States of an airliner's pilots being shot by a passenger as part of a mass murder/suicide


Julie Clark, one of three daughters of the murdered Captain of Pacific Air Lines Flight 773, and orphaned at the age of 15 by her father's death, grew up to become a commercial airline pilot for Northwest Airlines, and performs aerobatic displays at airshows. She retired from NWA before the merger between Northwest and Delta Airlines

Yeah, thats the agreement with Midwest. Which is nothing. Somebody mentioned Delta terminating their codeshare agreements with Shuttle and CHQ. This is what I'd like confirmation of. The Midwest agreement is a frequent flyer program. It has nil effect on Republic. The codeshare agreement with Delta and shuttle/chq is major contract that if terminated, would park a lot of planes and furlough.

I don't think anyone said that Delta was terminating the code-share with Shuttle/CHQ. We were talking about terminating a Midwest (Which is owned by Republic) /Delta agreement.

Delta and Midwest Airlines had a code-share (you could buy a ticket via the Midwest Airlines website and travel on a Delta airplane). Also, you could earn Midwest FF miles for doing so. Those two agreements are being terminated.

I'm up at NATCO in IQ on the 320. Lot's of talk up here about:
1) 767ER to SEA, Some 330 time to ATL and NYC on the May AE. People are starting to ref conversations with CP's.

2) Guam base

3) Short manning for the summer.

What's the latest?

the whole discussion was about the codeshare. it was only mentioned that the likely next step will be to get out of the contracts with RAH as feeder. This just shows that DAL is looking at RAH in an unfavorable light and likely doesnt want to supplement the competition going forward. we'll see

I starting to wonder where the SEA ER time is going to come from.

I know it's already existing flying to some extent - but with all the reduction in flying in ATL and NYC - does anyone thing there might be some pull down from those bases? Obviously we know that the CVG ER base is closing at some point. I remember seeing that the CVG ER base was doing some of the Pacific flying. Wonder if that's enough to cover the planned SEA flying?

Limited number of SEA ER slots from what the CP's are saying.


As for IQ, you never know who is on this board. If you wife is north of 163 she probably has most beat :eek:
In reality who cares. We are just "dumb" pilots and they are "dumb" Flight Attendants.
Most of the FA's I talk to are very interesting. Multiple Degrees, Masters, PHD's. When I ask why they do this, the answer varies. Some have husbands that make the money, and others really do not care about money and want to travel, some just got stuck doing a job they generally like. It is not all about smarts. Some of it has to do with your time outside of work. Both their job and ours allows opportunities that you would not have otherwise.
