Looks like the additional 700 rumors were mostly true. Not quite the 8-15 as rumored, but 4 more is a great way to start the new year. Here's to movement! 3 cheers for BH. Hip hip HOORAY!
 
Nice! Now if they'll stick a newhire class or two under me it'll be GOOD news!

U know they are going to SkyWest not ASA
Per the press release, right?

Internally Brad Holt just announced 4 CR7's to Atlantic Southeast. Correct, the press release does say SkyWest Airlines.... I would guess OO is getting them straight from the factory.

I previously stated Atlantic SE's aircraft are coming from Horizon... This is incorrect, the announcement made no mention where they are coming from. My apologies.

Yea on the west side the rumor mill is going strong again as we are having the jet transition classes. How many ex QX -700s do you guys have now? Seems the horizon/Alaska rumors are spreading from the pdx base and the QX/AS pilots I have run into in the last few weeks.

CRJFOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME dudes.
 
I guess we will have to run an upgrade class of 15-20 and hire a few more? Anyone heard anything about more hiring?
 
I think 4 of Horizon's 700s are going to ASA, 4 are going to SkyWest and SkyWest has ordered 4 new ones from Bombardier.

Total of 12 additional 700s for Inc.

That ship sailed many years ago when the mainline skygods decided "little airplanes" were too good for them...Bring'em on...My ego isn't too big to fly them....

Fly them while you can Joe, you never know when you will be replaced by another airline undercutting your CPA, or mainline scope limiting your career.
 
Not true. I want ALL the planes on the mainline list. I'd fly a 172 if it were on mainline seniority with mainline benefits.

Good! Better for the bottom line which is better for ALL of us who work for INC....

Then why not just put all Asa and XJT planes over on the side that is better for the bottom line? Maybe we should just go for the old Mesa contract so that it's better for the bottom line and can get CRJ1000s!
 
I remember that same "swagger" when Atlantic Coast got a big United contract and they were growing like wildfire in all the UAL hubs......

I seem to remember some sort of "swagger" when mainline guys were making $350 per hour and eagerly calling everyone else "prop trash" as well.

-"Good" goes around. "Great" lands on a taxiway.

Since you can't just drop the subject with this pilot vs. pilot crap.

"Great" lands on a taxiway at the end of a second consecutive all nighter, the second one with no break and a last minute sidestep with no backup.

"Awesome" crashes a perfectly good CRJ after joking about drinking beer in flight, switching seats in flight to take pictures, and flying into the coffin corner then not knowing how to restart the engines and missing all available airports nearby that the awesome pilots could have glided into.

Maybe so, but "super-duper awesome" forgets to set takeoff flaps in his 727 because he is too busy commenting his FA's ass. Subsequent crash messes up a whole lot of innocent asses.

Or maybe your friendly neighborhood sky nazi forgets to retract spoilers during an escape maneuver, and flies a perfectly fine plane right into a mountain after becoming stupid lost down at Cali.

-And so forth, and so on.... Everyone screws up. Some people just paid a lot more to screw stuff up whilst doing exactly the same job in exactly the same environment-and screwing up the same exact things. Reality sucks.

-"Prop trash" can screw up, but you sky gods can pull a good hum-dinger just as good as any bug smasher ever did.

Get over it....
 
We do the same job only to more obscure airports, 5-6 times a day, on 5 hrs of sleep or less. When we screw up, we have real excuses that don't involve laptops.

Yep, but I'm still a mainline sky god at the end of the day. Sure is better being able to blame my crap on you lowlifes.
