Chicago Express ?
Yes the fee is true, and the money is not going to Chicago Express its going to the best flight school in the country!!!! American Fllyers, NOT!!! Slogan for the company is tomorrows prices for yesterdays technology (American Flyers). But most likely if Chicago Express makes you get this done... -
Chicago Express
Sure would be, and Im not to far off from upgrading now, based on seniority numbers. But either way, just sit back and enjoy all the rumors for now, trust me when something is offical I will post it on here ASAP. Anthony -
Chicago Express
I should of read your question better, in my opion, totally being an honest guess here and nothing more. I have nothing to back this up, so this is my only opinion and noone elses, and nothing from management. Yes I think we will be getting the saab 2000, and I would imagaine the number would... -
Chicago Express
Honestly its really hard to say. It really will be behind closed doors. If we do get them, they will replace the 340's, so that would be 17 airplanes, numbers after that noone knows. So again, its really all rumor mill stuff now, until hard numbers come from management above and its a done... -
Chicago Express
I got hired with 1200 hours. Dont let that discourage you though. I didnt have a in like you have by working at the GO. Anthony -

Chicago Express
Hey if your in the GO, your in the gold pot! Go ask Scott he'll be honest with you, dont be bashfull. Just be persititent with it. If your in the GO you should have a lot better news than we get out on the line! BTW you like the new avatar, getting pretty excited to fly this thing if it... -
Chicago Express
If your hired as a pilot, then your fine man. Dont worry getting a new plane wont make our hiring requirments go any higher for the most part. -
Chicago Express
Its really hard to say. The guys that get on with low time, have eithered interned here, thats a big one, or have worked for chicago express or ATA. So for your case ATAOPSDAVE you can probably get on with lower than normal times. The minimums for hiring will probably depend on what they need... -
Chicago Express
Senna P If you flew out of dupage then yes you probably flew with me, and if you knwo Gene and Dave then yes you did fly there. Gene did get let go, and Dave is not there as well, just doing his thing at Chicago Express. Dilbert We already fly the Saab 340B, were talking about getting the Saab... -
Chicago Express
Yea the famous slogan of american flyers, Yesterdays technology, for tomorrows prices! That would be a good one. -

Chicago Express
Ill take care of the post, really didnt think anyone one of commented on it. And Mr. FlyChicago you should be mroe friendly around your pilots when you see them in the hall wall a simple HELLO would be nice!!!!!! just messing with you. Anthony -
Chicago Express
And FlyChicago it was finally good to put a face to all of your posts!!!! Good luck in Minny, you'll have a good time, ecspecially if Brady is your instructor! Anthony -
Chicago Express
Yep, was that you with the upgrade while we were on break? Anthony -
Chicago Express
No sorry not the same guy, but if he did that for you that is great, and you have a great attitude back form it. Sorry it isnt me though. Anthony -
Chicago Express
Oh one more thing that is if we even get the new aircraft!!!!! Anthony -
-
Chicago Express
It would be a complete replacement of the Saab 340 fleet. So number whys atleast 17 of them. If there is more not to sure. I do know we would only be able to take 2 per month, due to keeping the 340 program running until the 2000 are all on the property. Now I know there have been higher... -
Chicago Express
No. The saab 340 right now holds 34 passengers, with the effects of new weights by the FAA will bring us down to 32, maybe even 31 passengers, loosing more passengers for ATA and not being able to sell as many seats. This will greatlly impact there service and make them do something now or... -
Chicago Express
FlyChicago you have worked in the GO while an intern, now you are in the process of being a line pilot. We all have been hearing this 18 month thing for years, with some pilots hearing it since 5 years ago. 18 months we'll have RJs on the feild. I would love to beleive it, and I sure hope... -
Chicago Express
Well guys, from what ACA has announced today ATA better make a plan soon, and not use the usuall 18 month thing on us anymore. This will be interesting to see if they decide to attack or sit back and watch things pan out! Hopefully they will attack sooner than later, atleast not when its to... -
Chicago Express
Fly yes your right on what I was trying to say. We'll if you got the yahoo group e-mail from Scott he did make a comment on something coming out tomorrow, again if it is what is on the employee web site its not that huge. Who knows will find out soon enough. The more reading I do on this Saab... -
