Evergreen updates?

[Flyer1015]

Anyone here working at Evergreen have any updates? Still 5 FOs on furlough? Any recall news?

Is "Buzz" still DO?

And what position is Captain SH in now?

 

[propsarebest]

"buzz" is the VP.

SH is DO again.

No hiring forecast, but the first -400BCF is on the way now, may be on our cert by feb.

I don't work there, but talked to a line guy who said the furloughs have been recalled (except for a bypass). He also said something about hiring in the next 2 months.

Just got a companywide voicemail from Buzz yesterday...hiring 16 as we speak for the 4th 'Dreamlifter" and then 17 later for a forecasted 747-4 by Feb. But as we all know this could change in a day!!

Air France or JAL?

No idea.

I heard they are doing the Air France one first then maybe the JAL plane..I know the MX guys are starting -400 training.

Thats great finally maybe a bit of Mov't. I don't get to hear all the "5 Towns" rumors over here on the LCF side of the house in CHS.

The first -400 coming is AF, with two more coming after that, all perhaps by end of 2010. AF wants very badly to get rid of them.

JAL offered the ENTIRE -400BCF fleet, along with offering to carry the paper on them. The situation is so dire over there now that I believe they backed out of the last bit.

I bet those JAL planes are in perfect shape too.

The 5-Towns south in CHS is much nicer No pound cake.

My brother used to work for a US legacy that did some MX on JAL planes.

He said pretty much said they were in the condition you suspect every time he touched one.

Just curious-
Is Evergreen home-basing pilots, or is it still a handful of domiciles? If the latter is true- which one is junior (for F/Os)?

 

[propsarebest]

JFK and SUU are the bases for the classics. JFK is the one a new hire would get- SUU only supports two airplanes, so it is small and fairly senior.

Only "home based" pilots are the check airmen.

What are the hiring mins?
