When is this call? Keep us posted. I'll be utterly amazed if pilots have cutting edge information about anything. Seems there are some loose lips over there...

They haven't said for sure yet but should be this Friday or Saturday. Yes, Ricci does conference calls on Saturday. As far as loose lips go, I've never been a part of any pilot group where there weren't folks like that. That being said, I never post anything that I don't personally believe may have some teeth to it and if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. After all, isn't that what these forums are for? Also, if were an employee of a company that is potentially in the crosshairs of another and someone had some possible intel, I think I'd like to be forewarned.

I'd be extremely careful with "rolling rest".

The FAA Chief Counsel has issued numerous statements that rest must be known in advance. Here is one of the rulings:

I think most of us would be happy with a change to our policy. Seems our POI has his own interpretation...

The rumor was that was supposed to have happened about a ago. We're also actively hiring. Neeeeeeext rumor!!!!

Besides, if that were to happen we would only find out after the deal was done (none disclosure agreements as such). Until that point I'm cashing my paychecks, enjoying wakeboarding on my weeks off and not wasting time worrying about something that I have 0 control over.

So riddle me this... XO Minimums are ATP or Commercial Cert with ATP written. That's pretty broad. Obviously you have the "competitive FO minimums" but it's my understanding that there are no SIC 135 requirements. Correct me if I am wrong, but even with 500 hours one could apply to be an FO at XO (though your app would get laughed out the door)...

Incorrect. Not sure where that came from. 2000 Total ATP written for SIC. Very unlikely the chance of a call without an internal rec from someone on the inside

Any updates from his recorded call?

Only that they have assets that he'd like to have under the DAC umbrella.

We are able to charge a significant premium for the 300 when the client wants to lock in the aircraft type over the citation, so that's not a surprise he wants them. I'm sure he can have them, if the price was right. Everything is for sale...
