No one hired in 2011 is holding a line in DTW without vacation or pre-assigned credit. Most junior line holder in IAD is an April 2011 hire.

So I bumped into 2 different captains in the crew room the other day, they had just been in recurrent, and told me some news. Apparently ASA has more or less secured the Miami Eagle flying and that our over water converted 200's are doing the flying. They also said that the Dallas base was also going to be likely operated by ASA. Anybody else hearing this? Sounds quite a bit optimistic...

The overwater thing is legit apparently.

Rumors that come from recurrent classes are the best. Only second to, "a mechanic told me.."

What's with you guys and taking Eagle's "open water flying" thing? The ATRs and Embraers that currently do the Bahama and Key West flying are no different from the ones doing domestic flying over land. Even the ATRs in SJU don't carry life rafts anymore because they never get far enough from land. And why would AMR want more unprofitable 50 seat flying?

It just doesn't make sense, that's all. FWIW, many instructors, IPs, and ground instructors said AMR had a 190 sim sitting at CAE. Which is obviously not true and completely ridiculous as well.

Neither did Vietnam when we all first heard the rumblings. Let's just wait and see. Hopefully hiring picks up soon and attrition kicks up for all.

You guys still don't make sense, what Eagle routes will you do that require over water ops? Eagle currently doesn't have any routes that require over water ops. If it was to pick up the slack for the ATR in the Caribbean, much of what the ATR does out of SJU can't be done by a CRJ 200, and for the Miami stuff is not required.
