I think all signs point to Spirit ordering a bunch of C Series. With 6,800 orders on back fill for Airbus, our chance of getting any more new Airbuses from the factory in the next decade are slim to none. Talked with the VP of Avenger Flight Group, he said they just ordered 2 C Series sims to provide sim support for an airline currently in final negotiations with bombardier. BF said a few months ago they wanted to get into the smaller markets. I also think our new DTW chief pilot was brought here to write the C Series program. That's what his back ground was in Eagle, he helped bring the CRJ on board for them. I'm guessing our TA will come the same week these planes are announced, the order will be contingent upon the TA passing.

DTW Chief was brought on to be Dir of Training replacement. You don't F up distance learning as bad as that was and survive.
C series again? No way NK could roll out a new training program. It would be a goat rope.

I like Jyri less than anyone who doesn't like Tom Brady. The other three DFW, ORD, and DTW chief pilots however are all good guys.

No he wasn't. Why is the Director of training still here then? He was hired to be what TM was and wanted a flying position instead.
