Not when I posted my original comment. ATL was still being advertised as opening in June when I made my comment.

Instead of being honest up front whenever they decided they weren’t opening ATL, they waited until the 6/1 Standing Bid was out and it was obvious ATL wasn’t opening.

One of my coworkers who is ex Republic said that RAH has already purchased or signed the lease on Mesa’s MX hangar in IAH. Sounds like CLT all over again.

Well, we don’t need that hangar when Republic takes the Ejets that we have sitting in IAH. Plus, Republic is planning to open a MX base in IAH - they need the hangar.

I doubt United is about to “can” Mesa if they just signed the CPP. But, Mesa was opening a base in ATL before yesterday and now it isn’t. Strange industry full of liers.

Default Is this the future route to the majors?

“The American Airlines Cadet Academy will train prospective pilots for 18 months at the carrier's partner flight schools, removing financial roadblocks to encourage more to become professional aviators. Once training is complete, students can interview for a position with the airline's regional carriers Envoy, Piedmont and PSA.”

They are making steps towards a cradle to grave pilot-mill program. Just like the old Delta Connection Academy.

Many of the European airlines have these as well. The only problem with Europe’s program is you are an indentured servant for x number of years.

Upgrades awards are out:
Ejet: 21 months to award; 23 months to training (down 4 months from last month)
CRJ: 4 months to award (IAD); 6 months to training - pretty close to street Captains

Our Ejet award is about the same as Compass - still about 6 months faster than SkyWest. Our CRJ award is just a tad behind the industry since the industry has moved to street captains on the CRJ.
