Aloha?

Anything moving @ Aloha? I heard management may want some concessions to make the inter island more profitable? New routes for the deliveries later this year? Anyone? Anyone?

Concessions? Naw... we gave 10% for the ATSB loan, and I don't see us giving up anything else. Zander needs to start leading this company and managing its resources properly, not blame the labor for his inability to seize the market share.

We're getting 2 more -700's this summer, but that's it... who knows what's going on.

It appears we are up to a new hire class of 8 pilots every month now. One just started on the 9th and the next one starts March 8th.

The vibe i'm getting is the ultra-strict rule about >>having to fly with somebody<< before they get an interview is letting up a bit. I know of at least two guys recently hired that did not meet that criteria but were still strong in other areas.

I know YOU now have at least two guys here now that YOU DID fly with clipper. If you can say Aloha to Frontier now. Boy, it was such an obvious choice when you were at Mesa.. So now what? Did you buy a house in Denver yet?

Im told were shooting for a list of about 400 pilots, were at about 340-350 now, but retirements are strong at over 10 a year, yeah you'd probably be an FO for a while but you never know.
