The 757 will be phased out in the next 10 years, replaced by 321 & 737-900. 767 flying will be replace with A330. I'd guess that most senior FO's on the 7ER will switch to the 330 forcing it to be a super senior aircraft. I've flown with too many right seat lifer's.
In the last two years the 7ER fleet was slammed with new hire training. I don't see a cycle like that ever happening again for that fleet. |

I think you are correct. Although there were no ERs on the last AE, those jumping ship exceeded the back-fill leaving vacancies.

That's definitely something to consider, but our CEO has made it clear our growth is going to be south. He wants to takeover South America which is also why our next base will likely be FLL. Furthermore, there is so many gates and overnights in both MCO and TPA that one of them would have to always be a base.

I hope they're focusing on Street Captain training for the 717 & C-series. I'd wager $50 that we'll see it in 5 years or less. They'll have to move the Captain's leadership training to the upgrade footprint instead of a year later.

Sounds like Spirit country. They've got a good hold on that new FLL expansion, and lots of S. America slots to even the dark and dirty destinations that your average pax wouldn't frequent for vacation. Think SWA would just acquire the competition? Anyone?
Spirit going to the dark and dirty destinations is in line with their fare saver business model... Many people will use them to visit family in their "old country"... |
