I just got some info from someone not as high up as ACL talks to that said we have 1 used MD90 in VCV that will be stored until summer 2010. We have bought two more but are letting the airline we bought them from operate them until summer 2010. When they do come on line, they will park an 88 for every 90 we get. So they probably won't need to staff any additional 90's on an AE this year.
As for what we are going to need staffing wise. No furloughs are planned, but over staffing mitigation techniques are being worked out.

ACL65,
With the market in the toilet, I do not know how eager senior pilots are going to be to punch out of a job.
Edited to protect mi amigo Ferd's sensibilities. Guess we both feel like we have been the Black Angus outside ol' Puerto Rico.

For Mi Amigo Ferd, anyone else seen this video of the Jumbo, Dumbo, landing?
Landing
For some reason the crosswind correction just cracks me up.

Thanks your Dudeness, I'm such a sensitive guy.
But, you do have to organize my new and improved "airway manual" now
I still can't figure out what I'm supposed to do.

I may be moving home to Phoenix, getting ready for them to move the Asia 75/76 to the west coast somewhere. May see you in SEA

PS That and I've just about had it with north Texas weather this spring. The cowboy practice facility is about a mile to 1.5 miles north of me.
