Hi Guys,
Greetings to everyone. Just a little off topic, I am currently an A330 F/O at Etihad & looking to come back to the US. I am trying to apply to JB and on the website I can't find the job listed. Airline Pilot central says they are hiring, but I can't seem to find it on the JB career link. Can anyone help with any other contact or E mail to send my Resume. Thank you in advance.

Having said that, I don't think the hiring window is open so there won't be a link yet to fill out an application. I could be wrong. Happened before once a few years back.

You were saying?
Well, this article is 34 days old... (how old are the current "more growth" rumors???).

The only caviat is that as the old frames come back from mods they be adding ~7% capacity per frame, so there will be a ASM bump with that.

We obviously can't throttle utilization anymore so we will need more frames then on order just to maintain status quo with our growth rate

I like you Chuck, especially liked your movies and the jokes you have inspired. I agree with everything you have said and also agree with the others who say we should/need to grow more. We should.
Now what has the company told Wall Street?

As far as the fleet being maxed out, I agree. According to wiki, Jetblue has "over 94" destinations (not including Cuba). Southwest has 98. We serve those destinations with 214 aircraft, while Southwest uses 692 aircraft. I know there are other factors to consider (slot allocation, gate space, etc.) so the comparison is apples-to-orage-ish, but thats the only way I could quantify it.
Who knows. Maybe the rumored Frontier IPO is good news for us.
Doesn't AAL have some lightly used E190s for sale??
