Did you guys sneek in additional deliveries from Bombardier for the Airtran flying or are you diverting aircraft from the United side of the house? I don't remember seeing any orders or any changes in your delivery schedule. Anyone know?

 

[Tyler Durden]

In the interview they gave us a copy of the monthly company newsletter. It says the AirTran Jetconnect aircraft are in addition to the scheduled deliveries of the aircraft for the United side.

I think that we are taking many more of the Midway CRJ's than we had originally planned.

Not only that but I heard from several good sources that Bombardier had a bunch of the 44 seaters sitting around and offered them at a good price. However they are going to be reconverted to 50 seaters.

I hope they get those ex Midway maintenance pigs sorted out before they go to the Air Tran operation

Received the call on Friday the 25th for a November 11th class! Hiring sounds strong through next year and possibly continuing with the Airtran deal. Any other Oct 24th candidates get the call??

Just looked at the training schedule for the RJ and FYI they are saying 13 RJ training slots for those starting 11/11. RJ systems etc. start DEN 11/25 for those starting 11/11. Good luck.

Oct 28 class breakdown

In the class that started on Oct. 28 the unofficial breakdown is 13 RJ's and 5 D328's. Should find out tomorrow for sure, but right now that's how it stands. They've told us all that the RJ's go to ATL and the 328's go to DEN.

The experience level is quite high. The lowest flight time is 2400 hrs. and the highest is 11000. The average is probably around 3000+ hrs. Mostly 121 experience. Only 3 with 135 experience. Nobody with just 91 experience. Great company!! I wish I'd have applied here years ago!

I saw the CL-65 yesterday and he said that someone was on the way to pick up two more Midway CRJ's.

Air Wis prior to 9/11 would hire a few without turbine time..But now they are currently hiring all current and prior 121 applicants. I have my resume walked in with 2 letters, 2300tt but only 100 turbine and prior 135 but no 121 and can't get an interview.

Yes but they look to see if you resign any seniority from your furloughed company. Looking for those who will stay for some time and not just eat up resources and then leave.

Hi!

They have hired -135 lately, but have always hired a lot of 121 pilots.

Ok...would three to four years be long enough? Because that's how long it will likely be before many of us climb out of the hole...
