Anybody know how senior Greensboro, NC is and which one of their airlines you have to be employed by to get it?

currently pretty senior for FOs. Chautauqua

 

[The Drizzle]

oh yeah, i forgot. where are they going to find that many spineless whores?

 

[greedypilot]

Mesa / Colgan / Piedmont pilots who jump ship perhaps? Oh wait.. that is where they are already coming from!

 

[TAWS]

Colgan Pilots should stay there, as you guys will grow like crazy in the next few years - as long as 9E mngt can use you to whipsaw it's own pilot group!

I think this sheds some light on the Delta RFP. Word around the water cooler is the Delta 170's go to Frontier and a LARGE order for 175's for Delta. Republic is fast becoming the dominant small jet carrier.

ehmmm, getting ahead of ourseleves a little no. At least up to and including 3rd semester '06 Republic only 3.9 Billion RPM ... a long way to catch Skywest with over 7 Bil, Eagle with over 6 Bil and XJT with 7.8 Billion. With the terrible job I hear that Chautaqua is doing for CAL ...

Yeah, that plus I hear they are doing a terrible job for US Airways, United, Delta, American, and they are sure to do a terrible job for Frontier...

Ha ha, another hater. Poor job for Cal blah blah blah........see ya in DEN

What this looks like is a ploy to attract more/better candidates in their new hire classes. Promise the moon to get people on the property then not deliver on the back side. By then its to late for the employee.

1000 new pilots is about 100 new airplanes. If they started taking deliveries today they would have to take delivery of over four airplanes per month for the next 23 months to meet that target. Considering that there is nothing substantial already in place (and there won't be for at least several more months) this looks like total BS.

Ehww must have hit a nerve, so it's true then.

as much as i am sure you wish it to be, it isn't. sorry.

 

[8HourPilot]

I'd be curious to see actual proof that we are doing a poor job for CAL.

Where are the 30 (firm ordered, not optioned) EMB-175's going? That would be about 300 pilots right there.

Edit: Meant 300 not 600 pilots.

How about a CHQ 145 in United Express colors in IAH working as Continental Express? I am sure that went down well with CAL

I'm sure they were happier. I think the United Express paint job is the best looking of them all In time I think the CHQ Co thing will be up and running well.

Did the flight go from IAH to some other POS Texas City. Yes? I'm sure they were happy enough with that.

Holy ! Look at that arse

 

[Hootie9750]

Why the hate on RAH? I don't work there but if they can staff the place with the highest minimums of any regional then they must be a decent place. I hear the word "whore" or "bottomfeeder" and I think of any place that needs to lower their hiring practices to "commercial multi, pulse, and willing to relocate to some sh1thole".

 

[flyguy81]

with current orders we'll have approx. 240 planes by end '08. Should have 1700ish on the next seniority list and noone knows what DAL is doing with the RFP.

And I'm sure it was probably part of the service agreement,jsut as it is with all of our codeshares that spares can be used so long as there isn't another company name on them. I agree they look cheesy, but if you think CAL didn't know these were coming you need to stop kidding yourself. Esp at the beginnig of the service contract, as the dedicated aircraft will be phased in over the next few months.

Impressive. Your management group obviously knows how to get the contracts done.

No, I don't think I am getting ahead of myself. The numbers you quote are current numbers. I believe that soon RAH will surpass the other commuters. I don't have a dog in this fight, but I can tell that you probably do. By the tone of your post and your profile I surmise you work at a carrier which has lost flying to RAH, probably Coex. Believe me, I understand that kind of pain. I have been through it and furloughs as well. If you are near the bottom third of the seniority list, I would definately consider moving to RAH. Good luck to you and your career.

go to the zoo and watch a monkey sh!t fight, that is an accurate reenactment of what they do. they are successful at it in spite of themselves. it beats me how they do it, they just do.
