US Airways Application

The only stupid move they made was saving your bk ass.

You are correct again. I thought I said on crack AWA management!!!! Parker actually said in public that selling 10 E190's to Republic was needed industry consolidaion! Is that jail serving chief executive really that stupid?

My class in Feb. was 4-737, 6-190. Class behind us was at least 5-737. No Airbus for either class.

Congrats on your new job!

7 new hire pilots started Basic Indoc yesterday (Apr 2). Don't know what equipment they'll get though.

All 7 were put in the 737. Four in CLT and three in DCA.

Merger by next Wednesday. I would bet a moons over my hammy on it.

Interesting since we are parking 12 737's this year.

They are super short for F.O.s on the 737 though. It is common in CLT for them to have no reserves available at the end of the day. A few of us got close to 90 hrs pay in March, and not by choice. I would much rather not fly.

I'm curious why you think it's going to suck here less? To me it seems like nothing will change for years, except for retirements starting again. I don't know that a merger will improve things either. We'll just be a bigger sucky airline, that flies our suckiness to more destinations.

All so true sir. But with the geezers leaving starting in 8 months at a pretty good rate everyone moves up and it is less sucky to be a block holder then to be on reserve and less sucky to be on a widebody, etc... Didn't know they were short in CLT being a PHL guy. I'm a block holder and don't do even close to 90 hours thanks to SAP and forgetting to sign in for trips!!!

Good luck and don't listen to Becket things are going to suck a little less here soon and much less than at United.

Trying to stay positive! Thanks.

We are at our min fleet and min utilization rate now and as much as our company president wants it in his "Kirby proposal" those are things we will never give up. So, if you are 30 years old and get hired here you will be an A320 captain at age 36 or 37 and a widebody captain in your early 40's. Not to "sucky" I believe.

Not once the Nic is implemented or we merge with American.
