Probably about half that cost... these are the last off the production line.

Looks like more growth and replacement of the 50's.
Doubtful... expect a trade to get them for the 50s in the meantime.


pinnacle won't be around in a few years.
You may very well be right.

Xjet is gearing up for something big. Lots of LCP being trained. Still looking good for Xjet.
Is that the 717s???

Would much rather take a overall pay raise then a 5k bonus which those guys would see about 3k of that after the big bonus tax that Uncle Sam loves to take.

ETC. ETC. DOESN'T HAPPEN!!!!) then for the love of god a normal economy with 2% growth or so will cause hiring at majors and people will start to move on...... I don't see why its hard to tell people that your upgrade wont likely be as long as the fo's working now, and likely will be around 3 years like it was in the past.
Dang it - hadn't considered the possibility of zombie apocalypse or manbearpig attacks! Keeping my fingers crossed that neither of those happen.

Agreed. As much as it doesn't matter, I think we will end up having a flow through program with Delta, much like what happened at Eagle and AA. New hires have been doing their "brain exams" over at Delta's Designated Interrogation Control or more commonly known as Delta D.I.C. Seem's they'll be needing people to fill those double breasts in 2013.

Why is it that everyone thinks Delta will be bringing the flow back? They just canceled 2. 1 was at Compass which still does the "Brain Exams".
