Okay genius, be careful what you hope for.

I do not hope for anything. I want this mess to get over, so we can go back to talking about hiring and buying jets. I do not wish any of my fellow aviators any ill will.

Taking financial information, is just that. It has nothing to do with a pilot. It is about the health of said company.

Probably, though unlikely.

If you had the choice, which one of the two would you go back too?

Your dead on about the gauge. IMO why the old NWA did better on the Asia rim than United did was we took the 757 out there to run "thin" routes and beach resorts. Then, the A330s for all but MSP and DTW to NRT. Off the top of my head, the only whale trip south is NRT & Nagoa to MNL (someone correct this). The transitions to other jets is taking place now, and we are waiting for 767s to come out now. IE, NRT to BNK is now a 757 vs an A330 so we need a 767 there for sure. So, we'll see......I like the way we think!

I know it is spring break and I was doing spring break places, but I was full full full every leg between MSP and Ft Myers, Tampa and Phoenix.

Depends. If we go all the way up to me XJ will not be available. With only 16 slots, those will go in the first round.
CPS is not bad. I like the jet, and would not mind going there. I have done that flying before and enjoyed it. Most that do not know about it are scared of the "RJ" thing. But if you work a ton it pays OK. I much prefer my life of never working over that though.

Why, are you wondering how many people would flow to XJ?

Well, if your 300 guess is accurate then Compass could take on all the flowbacks. But I think he is probably wondering if he would get bumped down at all. If I couldn't get a CPZ left seat, then a Mesaba left seat would be my next choice.

I agree. We may get lucky enough that they may decided to hold off. These are hoped to be short term capacity cuts. They might decided to just SIL the heck out of the winter months. 2010 looks a lot rosier than this year.
Like I stated, they will more than likely only furlough what they can keep on the street for a year or two.

FWIW, they are still going with the party lines of no furloughs yet. We will see if that changes later this week.

Is the guess of 300 from Delta South only, or from the entire Delta?

That is probably part of the furlough or don't furlough question. If they reguage stuff, you could see Delta N jets reguaged with Delta S jets and Delta S jets reguaged with Delta N jets. Since these cuts are coming in September, it will be before SOC and could result in furloughs that are out of seniority order because of the cross fleeting that will occur from reguaging. It's all just a big mess.

Could be from both sides. But NWA is a little understaffed. It is a guess. What is being cut has not been announced yet. That is the key

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 06:41 PM.
