Looks like the IND base will see a lot more flying and routes added. Just heard IND is moving F9 to another concourse to free up space for expansion. Can anyone else confirm this?

Where do we fly out of IND now? Is it just the FL markets or are they going out west as well? Thanks

I thought I heard that Sun Country was supposed to Start flying from out that way. Ya'll buying them? Have a few friends over there that are wondering what the hecks going on and I want to heckle them -

Yeah, it's mostly FL(VPS, JAX, FLL, SFB, PGD, PIE) and AUS, MYR, SAV, and MSY. With the base coming in, some of the FL routes are going daily and 2x daily on Saturdays during spring. LAS and AZA are currently the only western routes for now, but I expect that to change once the new routes are announced.

Yep, they even have publically stated their interest in opening up routes out of CVG and IND. So, we will see what happens a buyout is definitely not out of the question....

Your full of good information Thanks for sharing what you know.

What a bunch of unsubstantiated nonsense. There is nothing to indicate anything you say is true. You don't even work here. My guess is you and Flyonwall have the same IP address.

If I had a dime for every shiny new jet/merger/buyout rumor that gets circulated

Diversion to keep pilots from running off to greener (major) pastures? The President's Executive Order to recall 1000 retired AF pilots will likely cause even Legacy hiring departments serious concern. Tip of the iceberg?

How many of these 1000 were already hired and trained at the majors? Just spitballing' but if you divide even half that number of losses it's a huge hole to fill. Legacy hiring is already in full swing presumably due to shortage fears and hoarding the rapidly dwindling numbers left out there. This will probably stoke the fears even more.

The Executive order is only an authorization and one more tool in the AF maning tool kit. Just like stop loss and many other retention management programs. The AF is currently only going to recall 25 pilots to fill non flying staff billets. I doubt that many legacy pilots would take a severe pay cut to work for 50 percent of their military pay flying a desk. They already get 50 percent of their military pay from the comfort of their homes.

This is very true. I don't know many guys that would go back including myself. Not gonna be many takers unless they roll out a really big bonus to sweeten the deal
