The 4 757-300 are offically ours via Boeing. They're sitting in PHX and will be retrofitted soon.
Not trying to downplay the very unfortunate shut-down of ATA, but just passing on some news.
I'd like to see the ATA and Aloha Pilots get first shot at our next classes. Sorry SkyBussers but you are definitely not welcome.

With fingers crossed, I hope the info comes from the cauldron of truth, and not a bad speculative rumor!
Depending if your glass is half full, or half empty....Possession is 9/12ths, 6/8ths, or 3/4ths of the game. The eighth delivery of the B737-900ER was proof of that last week

The past few years have seen our pilot staffing increased a bit, but in order for the airline to be properly staffed, it's best for pilots to help their buddies or pick up time from pilot "advertisements". As long as pilots pick up open time, the company sees no reason to hire more pilots. Working 14-16 hour days due to low staffing is not fun and after a few weeks you're just plain burned out. It's nice to have a few extra pilots to carry the workload.

Also this week: Still not enough money to pay me more than $30 an hour.

I realize a lot has happened this past week, and I have been off for the last 5 days. Have you seen anything officially posted from the CAL "higher-ups" in regard to the heavy 75's mentioned above?? Like you, would love to see us get more of the stretch B757's for the East coast and LAS markets.
With fingers crossed, I hope the info comes from the cauldron of truth, and not a bad speculative rumor!

Hopefully these are better than the last batch of -300's from ATA.
