Talked to Marilynn this afternoon to ask about keeping resumes updated; she said no need unless there were drastic changes. They aren't pulling resumes until they're ready to make calls for interviews. There's a class in training right now as well as a hiring pool. Doesn't look like there's an immediate need for pilots-- just a heads up for anyone applying.

How many aircraft a month are they destroying these days?

Hows the on demand biz going these days? Is it still mostly auto parts? Hope they're doing better than USA jet.

Pretty slow. Still alot of auto parts, but seing more and more odd ball stuff, like for Cat, BobCat, Peterbuilt, whirlpool, ect. I'd say where I'm at we're doing better than USA Jet since we're not laying off and have hired a couple guys. I know IFL laid off several people a month ago or so. Pretty sure it was mostly maint. and line though.

Are you flying the bandit for airnow?

 

[RedGuy]

Nope, I don't fly for AirNow. Actually I'm not flying the Bandit at all right now, I let my letter laps.

Is it one of those >20hr months?

 

[Deskbound]

Is it true they stopped flying the on-demand Falcons? How 'bout the on-demand Shorts?

 

[RedGuy]

Is it one of those >20hr months?

That wouldn't be slow, that would be stopped! Even my slowest month was 50hrs, and that was in Febuary.

 

[Steve]

I heard that guys flying the shorts at ACC average 20-70 hours/month (with the 19/9 sched). Have they switched to the 14/7 yet ir is that still in the works?

 

[JetSpeed219]

The schedule hasn't changed yet although it's supposed to happen soon. And RedGuy, if you say 20 hours is stopped then I'm moving in reverse!

 

[JetSpeed219]

True, no more Falcons but the shorts are still doing on-demand.

 

[RedGuy]

You guys are really that slow?
