Don’t worry we just bought 3 acres of land right next to training building for a few million ....adding even more sims?! Would love to know what the plan for that is, probably something boring like parking haha

Mergers don’t have to be bad. But they are bad when you team up with SWAPA and management and screw over an ALPA pilot group. Next time around with JetBlue or Alaska, please play nicer.



Oh it’s a Boeing/McD thread, whoops my bad :D

I worked for an ALPA represented carrier for nearly a decade and got screwed without a merger. By ALPA.

Wtf for? We’ll have like 26 sims in the Leads building. They’ve got the old sim building to use (assuming they’re haven’t torn it down). Be nice to know what’s in the works. 😂

Ditto, ALPA is an eat your young organization. We got screwed many times by those to whom we paid dues.

They were thinking of using the old building but chose to build a new one. Rumor is they'll use the old building for some of our ab intio.

I mean between the overstaffing (even before max debacle) and constant talk of more sims there must be a master plan in place, most likely to do with Denver expansion
