Those numbers are for 65.

That CPS flow is going to start bringing pilots in very shortly. They will be flowing for a good bit before one off the street hire gets a class. (That is the plan to date, so it can change) That said, you will see Mesaba and CPS flows this year with off the street after that.

65 MD-90's It will be an overall net gain. 9's and older 88's will be parked as they come up for heavy checks.

Look for another order in 18-36 months. We may also be looking at new to us jets.

I would say that getting the CPS flow deal for you would be good since it will be only one way for the foreseeable future. I am not a fan of flows, but these pilots come to DAL off probation, no interview other than the NWA now DAL interview they will do to get hired at CPS.

Time will tell, but DAL seems to be intent on using the flow agreements to staff the near term staffing needs.

Aslo FWIW, in 10 years I move up 45% and in the five years after that I move in to the top 30% then two years after that top 13%.

It is flat on the front side, darn near vertical in the middle and I spend the last 10 years in the top 5%.

If I was in flight school right now, I would be hitting this perfectly. Three more years of school, two years at a regional, two year in the right seat of a major, and then a captain for about 38 years at a major. There will be ppl like this with the retirement numbers we have.

Well back to the original title ASA will become just AS, Atlantic Southeast. Biggest waste of money I've ever heard of. If we're gonna change it make it totally different. I can see our mechanic's like James out there at night with a bottle of paint thinner and a rag...........

Thats funny, cause you really can't drop Airlines from the name.

 

[SLUF4]

yeah; that's the plan...sounds like a waste to me, but i guess they gotta spend that money on something since they can't let the pilots get a piece of it

well, if that is the case and we are just going to spend money on 'rebranding' the place... that would be disappointing and a waste of money. Our only customers are Delta management and United management and the only way the traveling public knows we arent UNited or Delta is a tiny 5" x 5" sticker on the front nose of the plane that you cant see from the jetway.

of all the things, why would we spend $$ on rebranding a basically virtual airline.... just doesnt pass the sniff test...

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Well maybe OO feels that if the rebrand the airline they can apply and receive a new ATA airline code from ICAO. DAL owns EV, so this may be their way around the fact that they do not have their own code.

Just a thought. No more no less.

 

[SLUF4]

perhaps something bigger is in the works that we don't have any idea about.

Who know's what's your thoughts?

Word on the street is that Mesa sucks. Can anyone confirm this?

Confirmed and verified to be true- Mesa does, indeed, suck!

Something tells me that the rebranding may be a lead up to some at risk flying or code shares with DAL. Let's face it, although minor, it may be just enough to get away from the catastrophy of a past we've lead, due to complete lack of direction and competant oversight on behalf of our prior management teams. Frankly, though subtle, it may be enough to "buff the turd". Let's be honest, it's our name that haunts our progress- we all know what we've done here and how much better our performance is, as opposed to years past.

Atlantic Southeast AIRLINES seems to be USA Today's favorite whipping child, perhaps the renaming of Atlantic Southeast will help disuade this for some "at risk flying". Yes, it's simple, maybe even dumb, but it just might be cheeply effective. I guess we'll see though, won't we...................

Don't think so. I bet 200 or so hired, but only 29 of them will be "flow."

 

[SLUF4]

I have some ideas and I've heard some stuff but it seems pretty far fetched
