Let the musical chairs begin....

 

[sunlitpath]

36 vacancies and 36 reductions. No need to remove the gun from your temple...

 

[Cpt Oveur]

Anyone else scratching their head at why it closes FIVE days from now instead of TEN?

 

[ASA_Aviator]

Oct 1 effective date.

 

[blesko]

Oct 1 closing date.

uh....not according to the memo....effective date 10/1. Nothing good happens at this place....why would it start now?

I meant effective date, my apologies. My point was, with a quick turn around for effective date, the closing date must be close probably.

Xjet sucks!

 

[JumpersAway]

I notice that CT and SH had their names on it-would have been great to get an explanation on this. It's good to see that the videos for "My ExpressJet" have been posted.

I was gonna' submitt a video- stopping by the unemployment office, to the Social Services Office, Three Banks and lending agencies, a divorce attourneys office, and
to the Good Will............Where has Your ExpressJet taken you???????????? : )

 

[i fly boxes]

Let me make it simple for you guys, your getting comairs 900s and losing some 50 seaters

 

[JettBoii]

And it begins.....

Yes, that is very unusual.

 

[CaribPilot]

Get out as soon as you can folks.

The last couple of years of my life as an airline pilot/ALPA volunteer have caused me to lose:

1. My faith in my fellow man.
2. The ability to call several people in my life my 'friend'.
3. My marriage.

 

[rockit85]

That was one of the most depressing posts I've read on flightindo.

 

[Noise]

How do you figure? I see a total gain of 4 captain positions, and a total gain of 24 FO positions. Either way, this is the first movement we have had in quite awhile. If it goes anything like the past handful of vacancies, I would expect to see between 15-20 total upgrades.

On one hand, I know I'm far more fortunate than most. I could be working at Comair, or PNCL. However, I'm growing impatient of constantly looking over the horizon for better news. I also have to admitt that I'm more than a little irritated seeing GoJet getting more airframes for DAL. Especially when I feel I've done all the "Cost Control" that I'm capable of personally dealing with.

Yeah, but it's looks like DAL is splitting the planes evenly

9 CR9s to SKW(rumor)
6 CR9s and 3 CR7s to XJT(rumor)
10 CR7s to GoJet (official)

Only big negative is for those of us that live in ATL. Incredible shrinking base. Guess I'll start looking up DTW crash pads....

Numbers are a little off, aren't they? Comair only operates 13 900s and 15 700s.

FYI:

Comair has (will have had):

15 CRJ 700's
13 CRJ 900's

You're numbers are off.

 

[JumpersAway]

On the upside, you can get an entire house for one years worth of crashpad fees in Detroit................

They sure are off. Maybe it will be 7 CR9s and 2 CR7s for SKW

Haha! Enjoy the miserable ATL-DTW commute, and forget about commutable trips up there!

 

[Flyguy1226]

Apparently the breakdown will be...

ASA: 6 CRJ9s and 3 CRJ7s
SkyWest: 7 CRJ9s and 1 CRJ7
GoJet: 10 CRJ7s

That's only 14 CR7s

That's the spirit. Keep looking up. Things can only get better from here; hell, why not...

I'd be shocked if Skywest got fewer or even equal than ExpressJet

 

[goahead]

That's the rumor Cpt Oveur and I'm really surprised to

Gojet couldn't staff or train for the last planes they got....where are they going to get 550 - 600 pilots from and get them trained by Oct. 1?

Bean counters don't ask questions that matter, like this one.
