Comair started the first 70 seater class a couple weeks ago.

I just flew with an FO (RJ) who was moving over to CP on the EMB next month.

I tried to talk some sense into him,....

If they're so short on FOs, how did they manage to put two in the same plane?

That is nice, but where are the 180 CRJ-700's going? ASA and Comair, or somewhere else?

Oh, I wouldn't count on any of that happening. One thing I've learned about ASA- I'll believe it when I see it...

I keep forgetting !!

The Delta pilots run the company and not Leo.

How stupid of me !!!

Last month I talked to an F/O that used to work in recruiting. He said the pool was full and there would be no interviews for quite a while.

So these 40 new hires a month, are these people that were in the pool, or off the street?

What the heck is going on?

 

[TWA69]

I heard there are 28 in the Sept. 23 class, and 20 in the Oct. 7 class. All coming from the pool.

ASA hiring

I have heard the same thing about the pool being full, and they were finished interviewing untin Jan. 03

I wonder who exactly announced the 40/month deal

I know for a fact that Delta is starting a new "low cost carrier" to compete with Airtran, Southwest, and Jet Blue. Maybe it is all tied in, but the news i heard was that delta would convert the 757's to one class, nothing about using the RJ700, and they would start in the northeast markets, Delta Express is gone, and a new name will be announced.

Does anyone else know this to be true?

 

[DCAV8R]

I did hear that Express would cease to exist and that all the 737-200 would be used to fill the gap between RJ-700 and the MD-88.Management wants an aircraft that seats around 110 passengers for some of those routes. I also heard that several (?) 757s would be converted to a single class configuration and placed on the Florida-Northeast routes in an attempt to compete with SWA & JetBlue.
