In his next movie Will Ferrel will play a ALPA Committee Chairman in "The ALPA Committee Chairman."

I could definitely see CVG 73N to DTW. It makes more sense then CVG 73N.

If you look in January you'll see as many as 55-60 pilots on reserve per day but keep in mind that is January. I bid to reserve, well in most months I 'bid' down, and typically I fly 6-8 days a month or at the most 10 and it'd be more but a majority of SC trips seem to go to WS's especially 1-2 day stuff.

But ATL 88B at 505 pilots is the 2nd largest category in the system and is only behind the international category of ATL 7ER B which is 530. It didn't take much to wipe out the list on Christmas and IROPS can clean this category out as there are a lot of flights that have to be covered.

FWIW, 60% of this category are pre-9/11 FDAL hires.

Look at the ER staffing system wide.

Will the AE on the 7th (est?) include a number for possible new-hire vacancies or is that entirely different?

Default More new jets!

On Tuesday January 4, 2011, 9:06 am EST
NEW YORK (AP) -- Bombardier Inc. said Tuesday that SkyWest Inc., which operates regional flights for Delta Air Lines Inc., has placed an order for four CRJ700 NextGen airliners.
The order is valued at about $148 million at list prices, although discounts are common.
The aircraft will be flown by SkyWest Airlines under the Delta Connection banner.
SkyWest Airlines and its sister airline, Atlantic Southeast Airlines, currently operate 406 CRJ200, CRJ700 and CRJ900 regional jets.
Including this announcement, Bombardier has taken firm orders around the world for 1,713 CRJ Series aircraft as of Oct. 31.

This isn't my choice, it's the terms of service of this board. You agreed to those terms when you signed up here. If you don't like it take it up with the moderators and owners of this forum. You should probably take a chill pill too, you are going to have a heart attack.

I thought our 70 seaters were pretty much maxed out, but who's counting (certainly not ALPA)?
