So many mixed messages..Could a contract opener becoming up???

Anyway it is my duty as an APC fellow member to pass on a couple of "things" i have heard from the little black bird. Maybe they are false, maybe they are true. Who knows, but ill pass them on to you.

1) RA wants 777s. (Ive said this before-a handful):eek:-->Cargo meeting about 6 weeks ago. This was said.
2) Check guy told me that there will be a big announcement in APRIL (didnt know what :cool:)
3) HE also stated that it is in the books-->We need to start hiring 500/year for up to 5000. The start date is 2015. WOAH!!!

Thats all--from the "onion" I bid you Guten Morgan!

True, and what we may see is a massive displacement to manage expectations right before we see an all in offer from the company. This bid could be a 365 since the last one was last years 365 bid, and as a result most of the training would not start until fall. As a result would allow them to reverse much of it with a subsequent AE, and then start hiring pilots a few months early, and or acquire someone and quickly kill the overlap thus resulting in no need for bodies.

ACL, I think you're sniffing up the right tree!

To many disparate indicators to make any one of the current narratives plausible...

Somehow our management is always surprised how many training events a displacement creates. They shouldn't be, it happens every time.

As we speak, they're projecting how that 777 FO is going to take that narrowbody capt slot. One training event, piece of cake.

What was that Einstein quote? Insanity is repeating the same thing expecting a different result.

It is possible to retrace the evolution of Latest and Greatest. The moment of true revelation and cultural enlightenment occurred in December of 2009.


It was all 80ktsClamp's fault.




80 posted a bunny with a pancake on its head.
As night follows day, this led directly to the historic first underboob pic.



Superpilot92 then provided the spark that started the revolution. For his efforts he was recognized with another milestone. The first Delta pilot to be banned from APC.

The historic masterpiece photo has since been removed from APC and placed in the Smithsonian Air Museum, but I believe it was a young female of the well endowed yet scantily clad variety in a torn off football jersey flipping pancakes.



Creative genius and innovative thought is often frightening to the establishment. Think Galileo.

FTB of course immediately escalated the debate to indecent levels and way beyond tolerance:




And the coup de grace was delivered a few hours later when acl changed his avatar to the infamous "humping lizards".

From that moment on, the Renaissance had begun and its been all downhill from there.
