3M vs. ZK: Who will be the first to fall?
 

A grim email was sent out by union leadership at 3M recently talking about the future. Sounds like a 5 month plan.

Meanwhile, Lakes has shrunk the operation and lost many EAS contracts. Down to 60 captains. Halving in size in 8 months time..

Who will pick up this flying? End of the turboprop or slew it to another carrier?
Thoughts? Predictions? Bets?

IDK what 3M or ZK are. Plz get back to me ASAP. TTYL and TFAYD.

Amazing what happens when there suddenly isn't a large pool of low-time pilots in need of hours that can be exploited for horrifically low wages.

I never understood why people use the 2 letter identifiers for airlines when most of the time people do not know the identifier for any airline but their own simply because it is not needed. I think it is also a commuter thing, but even then we do not use our 2 letter identifier when commuting - we use AA.

Care to share the letter?

3M vs. ZK: Who will be the first to fall?
 

3M = silver airways
Zk = great lakes ....

Hate when people talk with airline codes ! And all the abreviations ! #BS

Seriously with the two letter codes...this ain't airliners.net

+1 it's annoying.

Ironically, you could have looked up the codes in about 1/4 of the time it took you to complain about using/not knowing them :D

What is going on at Silver?

It took me about 25-30 seconds to type my response. 1/4 of that time would be approximately 6 1/4 second and 7 1/2 seconds respectively. Unfortunately, it actually would have taken LONGER to go to google and google "3M airline code", click "Google Search" and view the appropriate links to read which were which.

So no... you are wrong.

Also, that is not ironic.

You fail x2.

:D
