Air Wisonsin to ICT

[crashpad]

Just read that you have added ICT from ATL and wondering if/when there will be more expansion on the Airtran side. Is there some kind of interview privilege between Airtran and Air Wisconsin? Do you still give priority to UAL's pilots and are there a lot of takers?

No official expansion on the Airtran side has been announced. We currently have 10 green RJs and as far as we know that's all we're getting. Speculation about the future runs rampant from losing the AirTran deal to flying 20 more 50 seat RJs, some 70 seaters, or even Bac-Jets for AirTran (yes, Bac-Jets).

No interview privledge whatsoever with AirTran, though I believe we have had a few go over there, I also know of some great guys who got turned down by AirTran.

To my knowledge we haven't hired any UAL furloughees, nor are we required to as we are not getting 70 seaters.
