Well there you go. Everyone seems like they are slowing down for the Summer. Are there any Major airlines still hiring this Summer?

I have a 4/10 US Airways interview, so I guess they are still hiring.

...For now. I am not holding my breath.

Good. Go for it. I forgot USAir was still hiring. Is it for East positions (E190s) or West (A320/733s)?

They said I would probably be assigned E190 PHL, but the last class is all going the left coast. All things are subject to change, so we shall see.

Nothing wrong with trying to better yourself. If it happens, it happens. If you feel you have enough PIC time and want a change, go for it. I think you would enjoy either plane offered. I see those E190s in ATL and they look like a nice ride. The pay is a bit low the first year at all majors pretty much, but gets better with time and your options open the longer you are there, hopefully. Good luck to you.

On the bright side of things, I just finished up with the SO 747 training at NWA and it was a good program. All the instructors were laid back and very helpful. You will either be based in ANC or MSP and there are some good trips on the horizon.

I wish you guys all the best and hope for all of us oil comes crashing down to a reasonable level. $106 a barrell this morning.

If folks were not so scared out of dollars and into commodities.... Obama's "hope" speech is a little thin on details, but he is right about something. The prescription for this crisis of confidence is hope. He is politically astute to bring "hope" to the table when the other candidates are not in a position to sell the same message.

If traders would return to their senses oil would be around $60 to $80, making NWA's and DAL's fleet of narrow body jets more viable.

OK, who are you and what happened to GL?

Nice to see a positive post from ya; keep it up.

Heyas,

Adding to the oil price problem is the extreme weakness of the dollar right now, which is how oil is priced.

If the dollar were 1:1 to the Euro right now, oil would be around $70, or so the talking head on CNBC says.

Cutting interest rates to bail out a deflating economy isn't helping this at all. As long as the dollar is very weak, the high prices will remain very high.

How about "I hope oil gets cheaper!"
