SimuFlite laid off some in September, but I don't think it was anywhere near 50 IPs. Perhaps that number includes other staff as well if he's referring to CAE.
Because your math is either not good or you aren't using proper values for your variables. 55 reduced to 33 departures each day results in approximately 40% fewer pilots required in that operation. This is only the tip of the iceberg at Eagle, with all 25ish active Saabs being parked so these...
I hope you're not including me as attacking you. Didn't mean it that way and I certainly understand your frustrations. I also didn't realize it was one of those no-notice deals that we often hear about, pretty chickensh!t IMO, but not all that out of the ordinary from what I hear.
Try to...
Well that definitely sucks for those guys, but how is this any different than any other company that parks an airplane? When the worst that happens is you still have a decent flying job with a halfway reasonable wage I'd say you should be thanking God. If you don't like it you know what they...
Doesn't work so well anymore. Last week the captain said "let's do an OJ" so I started cursing and yelling, shoved him against the sidewall and then took his Jepps!
Dead serious. They wanted the wings and hat brass turned in, so I did. I don't really care, but it was kinda ridiculous. I assumed it had something to do with their security concerns at the time, it was still Oct '01 after all.
Well, you'd think that, but I think many folks here are under the impression that a single list with AA is imminent and they expected to hear it yesterday. Now, is it frustrating that management didn't even bother to come prepared? You betcha. They have done nothing but give lip service to the...
Yeah, I liked that touch too. I wasn't home and got the slip for a certified from USAirways. Began wondering: are they offering me one last shot to try and get as many folks back as possible? Half-joked to the wife that maybe they were sending me the wings they took back when I was furloughed...
Just put a dog shock collar on him (set it on the lowest setting!) and zap him a little whenever he looks at an airplane with admiration. That'll take care of it.
I keed, I keed. Mostly.
No delay in implementation if passed by congress is my understanding. Your timeline would only be accurate if it has to go through the NPRM process. We could easily see age 65 in place by Halloween '07 at this rate.
Thank for the reply Andy. That sounds in line with my very limited...
Maybe a stupid question, but did the House already pass this and the Senate vote was the last stop prior to W's desk? I thought they still had to hammer out details and agree on language from the 2 branches into a single document. Did they really work through this that quickly (1 week since they...
Based on age 60 you're probably looking at about 8ish years for a 73 but probably considerably less for the 190. Of course 65 is coming so plan on closer to 12 for the 73 IMO.
