Always making us feel good...thanks :P

 

Everybody knows FOs are just bad people. Smell like cabbage. Small hands.

 

Aren't you an FO?

 

That's just the interns!

 

1) I have no idea who you are, and you're going to use my real name here? Anybody within the company can figure out who I am pretty easily if they wanted. No need to blast it out on the interwebs.

2) It's not my decision to axe the FOs. Talk about making you feel good... do what that other FO did and tell the CP that you feel undervalued and unappreciated. See what happens. "Sometimes you get the short end of the stick" was the response, I believe. That's just what I've heard. I've heard that we're going to tell AA that we're nixing the FOs, regardless of whether it ruins the codeshare. Again, that's what I've heard. Is it true? I don't know. That's what makes it a RUMOR.

However, the fact that we're losing FOs out here to regionals is, well... a fact. I haven't looked at the training schedule, but if they do plan on keeping the FOs out here, they'll probably have to do more FO hiring.


Don't shoot the messenger. This has been milling around STL for a while now, and if you haven't heard it yet... I don't know what to tell you.

 

The flying for AA requires that we must have FOs. So those FOs are not going anywhere...well unless they get hired elsewhere

 

I understand AA's FO requirement... I fly out there...

What I've heard is that we're going to tell AA that we're getting rid of the FOs, with or without their (AA's) approval, and it's up to them whether they'd like to continue the codeshare at that point. Basically, we'd be telling AA to shove the FO requirement. It sounds like the codeshare isn't too important to us.

Again, that's the RUMOR I've heard.

BTW, a lot of the FOs ARE getting hired elsewhere...

 

Intersting. I guess we will see how it plays out.
Oh yea lots of 9Kers are bailing. We are going to have a big prob w staffing in 2011...not to mention 2012

 

Can you say OVERTIME?!!

Ka-ching (wish they had a money eyes smiley face...)

 

Mitragorz,
Nice looking Goose you have there. Where is it?
I'd love to fly a plane like that.
