ATL has not reserves and no more ppl to do GS's. They have two MAC trips sitting in the pot and no one to cover them. When ATL, the accumulator in the system dries up, people start getting calls.

If they didn't have a bunch of new ER B types sitting at home getting paid, they might have enough folks to do the trips. Oh well,, back the hoops.

No joking, it's for real, and the photos I posted are actual Amazon Guards. I've also seen some other photos where the guards look a little more....shall we say 'Beefier'.....in fact some of them look like real badasses.

Here's another link showing more photos (you also have to love some of the outfits Gaddafi dresses up in!)

AMAZONS : Five Gaddafi's lipsticked virgins Bodyguards - Muammar Qadaffi - Zimbio

Where did Kaddafi get his super premium wide body captain uniform? I thought those were strictly controlled.:D

Actually, it is better for Bombardier is a US Mainline carrier signed and order and then took deliver. Then they would not have to concern themselves' with a pesky scope clause.

Maybe Bedford is betting the farm that Scope Clauses will not be a factor when he gets his first C-series in 2015?

More likely these are replacement jets for Frontier / Midwest and part of his strategy to have his own brand as a hedge against fee for departure contracts which reply on the health and inclination of the major partner.

Absolutely. But which is Plan A and which is Plan B? :confused:

Are Frontier's Airbusesses old enough to require replacement in 4 years, even if the C-series sips fuel?

I think he's betting the farm that either scope is relaxed (outsourced Lorenzo Air Group pilot whipsaw, willingly, with SJS on roids) or he gets some lame "everyone in Wall Street is an infantile moronic idiot and won't catch on to this basic accounting trickery of putting yourself on the hook long term for debt but not calling it debt and investors thinking you have no debt" wet lease from mainline ( even with mainline pilots) or he gets to fly them with his Air Group pilots while legacy airlines continue to fluff his large plane coffers with the 70-76 seat gravy train subsidy program.

Let us pray. Dear Baby Jesus, doing yer primary flight trainin', learnin' bout chur E6B, we thank ya fer our many outsource agreements; please forgive our low ballin', as we forgive those who low ball against us; although we fly through the valley of branded flyin', we fear no scope clause, as thy whipsaw and thy shiny jet syndrome, they comfort us; give us this day our daily scope relief, for thine is the kingdom and the power of the race to the bottom, ah-mens.
