Connie just picked up another -400

[ultrarunner]

Connie tried to replace some pressure bulkheads ....

That's gotta give crews a real nice warm and fuzzy!

Good grief!

Lucky for us Boeing didn't sign off on the idea so no airplanes were retrofitted. When the bulkhead times out the plane is parked.

Well I just heard that Connie bought another 400. That makes 4 now. He is looking at getting 3-4 more. JAL is having a fire sale and Connie is cleaning up.

Connie(368/369) has 1 doing LAX-HNL everyday. Occasionally you will see them doing other stuff off the east coast. Click on this once in a while and you can see some out there http://flightaware.com/live/aircrafttype/B741

Whats the schedule like at Kalitta?

Right now it is the busiest I have ever seen it. Most places is min rest. We are way understaffed right now. The guys here are making great money. I have flown 44 hours in the last 6 days.

The schedules are fluid. Many changes every day as scheduling tries to cover trips. They really need to call everyone back and start hiring. I don't think we can keep this up indefinitely.

Rumor has it that all furloughed FO's are being recalled, but only 4 FE's.
Originally they were allowing guys to bypass, but now since they want to bring back everyone, bypass probably won't be available, unless someone want's to roll the dice for a later class and have the other guys gain seniority.
I see pilot hiring in the near future.

If it keeps up like this I think we'll see more birds come out of Oscoda and some more -400's sooner rather than later. It's really not worth taking any clothes for layovers as your not there long enough to enjoy it!

 

[belchfire]

Heard that all of the FO's are recalled from furlough...

 

[lionflyer]

It's a fact! All FO's recalled. Only 4 FE's though.

 

[hkgorbust]

Great news. Look for hiring soon.
