Let what go, I said I agree he should take time. Being a VP of Flight Operations or a line pilot should not matter when it comes to losing someone, sorry. Now, you can let it go.

Anyway, I'm done talking about it. You may have the last word. We obviously differ on our opinions as to the appropriate timing of this discussion. That's okay.

Just the fact that you used the death of someone's son as a point of comparison between your benefits and those of your VP of Flight Ops seemed discordant and a bit tasteless. The last thing I would think of when someone loses a loved one is to complain about how they get more time for bereavement off then we do. Not to mention that with his position and time with the company, he's earned it. Plus, you don't know that he isn't burning sick time, or vacation time, or something else for the extra time, just like you could call in sick, have a conversation with your chief pilot, or at worse just miss a trip if it were absolutely necessary and let the union go to work if action is taken.

All classes are on hold till after the summer. We do not need any classes right now. If a class started today, the new hire would not be online until Fall 2012. The fall is our slow time and we do not need the extra expense of having people make 75 hours of flying while sitting at home. Also, our instructors are returning to the line to fill in.
I would expect the next new hire class starting around Nov. 2012 at the earliest.

So the last thing I heard is that we are buying Eagle. Where do people get this stuff?

Word on the street is there will be a TA by summers end. The SLI will somewhat favor the ASA side. It is also being said that do not be to surprised if Delta comes in and buys some of the pilot group if not all. With Delta's lightning speed contract TA, and what looks like the same with Expressjet, makes one wounder why the rush. let's just say there is something in the works. Can't say much for the other regionals, but it appears that this Delta TA will benefit the new Expressjet, more than any other regional, for the better. Things are definitely looking good as time goes forward.
How can you buy a pilot group? Come on, I really want to know!
