Soaper was never hired here.
There are a few relatively new people in management here at Allegiant that mostly came from Northwest from what I have been hearing.
I was very happy to find that Comair Rumor to be completely false.
Your VP of Flight Ops Greg Baden retired from NWA. Great guy. Allegiant gained an asset when they hired Greg.

+1

Baden is by far the best that I have ever worked for in my 23yrs in aviation. Too bad Delta didn't feel the same. Big loss for us, big gain for Allegiant.

Wow! Why are roughly 30% of the FO's in DTW on reserve next month? Think its like 70 FO's if I counted correctly. What a joke!! I thought by contract it could not be more then about 20% on reserve in each category. Might be wrong on that.

Let me see if my Algebra skills can help.

.30x=like 70

x=like 70
.30

x=like 233

It's good to see that College Algebra class that cost me about $500 eventually came in handy.

Well I was close I guess. Actual answer is 268 fo's in dtw according to the bid packet. Good thing you don't have to be good at math to be a pilot! Good to see my pilot training that cost me 100K didn't help! Losing my A@@ on that investment.

No hiring in 2011 or 2012. Aircraft are exiting sooner than plan due to pilot losses (attrition). Think about it. Hire? There are still pilots on furlough who would have to be called back.

Dave Soaper is now COO at Southern Air. He was a Comair pilot with a seniority number.
