BIGGER airframe?
 

Okay, enough smack talk about this new AIP. Let's talk about our pilot egos. What are y'all hearing about a bigger airplane showing up on property?

I'll start....company talking to Boeing about reviving the 757 line because we don't necessarily need widebody capacity but we do need the performance. Think MDW & mountainous S. 'Merica. It would be reengined (seriously) but the roll up/built-in window shades, AUTO feature on the START SWXes would be deleted (only partly kidding).

Also, 767s as they are still in production (FedEx, AF (don't get excited SWAPA kernels, & UPS(s) and are significantly cheaper than 787s.


Also, we're buying Hawaiian for the Asia/ETOPS/wide-bodies and stapling the bastards and stealing their A330 & B767 Cptn seats. Given my background (see note south of avatar to the west of here) you can probably imagine how much I'd be in support of this (not at all).

So what is the latest rumor out online?

Lowering tpic to 500hrs. Lol sorry I had to.

Lmfao. Brilliant!! Perfect timing :D

😃😃😃😃😃
 

I have not been on the forum for years and what do I c but Whack mixing it up!!! We should buy Air Canada so we can get that Sweet Rouge call sign and Klaus back on property!!

I don't see GK risking putting a new airframe on property. He is way to timid to try something radical like that. Once the codeshares has given him a chance to look at traffic, maybe. Whack, you are doomed to live out your days in the guppy, cursing its inability to descend on speed.

Pay me enough and give me enough days off and I'll find a way to suck it up. At least the -500s fly their last scheduled flight this Monday. Another milestone in euthanizing the Classics.

At least there's some good language if they do add a larger airframe.

All 737 aircraft that do not require a new type rating are allowed, subject to the following restrictions:

ANY aircraft (including the MAX) that is acquired or configured in excess of 175 seats constitutes a reopener or
Any aircraft that requires a new type rating requires a reopener
Clarified “Company shall not place such aircraft in revenue service until such rates are negotiated.”

Bigger pay rates
 

The Max is on its way......where's the pay rates for that?

Why not publish those now and get it resolved?

The pay rates in the AIP are the Max pay rates. We won't negotiate any new rates unless new aircraft beyond the 737 appear or a 737 with more than 175 seats appears.

Thanks, i assumed the Max was >175 seats
