In addition, they're interested in VX's A320s if the new Alaska decides to get rid of them. There is something about how VX's jets are configured compared to how B6's Airbii are configured that makes them more desirable; something about not being able to fly over the Andes currently, and that some VX jets are ETOPS.

Our A320s have only one O2 generator so we don't have enough oxygen for the pax to fly over the Andes. I forget the times. We have 15 minutes, but you need 30, perhaps? It limits our range into South America, since we have to go around instead of over.

Rumor only!
Goes something like this. Delta places a narrow body replacement order next month and never takes the air canada 190's. JB takes a few (6-10) of them to get aggressive on the west coast.

Also, the high likelihood of some or all of the VX planes being available in the near future is a distinct reality.

Can anyone who has interviewed recently tell me anything about the 2 hour computer assessment? Is this counted towards your score? Or just just for gathering info at this point? Also if anyone minds passing their TMAAT questions via PM that would be appreciated too. Thanks.
