ATA Shutting down

[Bavarian Chef]

What a retard if you knew anything you would know that each pilot just got the new backpack dyson vacum system for quickturns.. We will make an extra 200 million this year from that gained eficiency alone..

Seriously though jetblue has a pretty strong cash position. lots of debt but that can be negotiated if necessary cash can not..

I think the writing is on the wall for skybus... Frontier is also real light on cash.

Ya think? I saw we only had 190 mil in cash as of the last qtr.

Hi.

Sorry to hear about ATA. I wanted to go there.

USA Jet is hiring, and we especially need DC-9 guys. Starting pay is $39K/year. If you have the hours, Falcon capt upgrade is about 6 months, and DC-9 capt should come down to about 2 years.

We have two bids out now for DC-9 capt, with only 6 elligible pilots.

If U want a lot of info, PM me.

Didn't see this one coming... I am surprised this happened considering the codeshare with SWA.

Sorry for all our fellow aviators at ATA, Champion and Aloha.

I hate to see all these guys out of work, best of luck to all of them.

Except for SkyBus. I will rejoice the day SkyBus closes its doors. Anyone who takes a job there deserves a line check everyday.

My 8 ball says:

Alitalia before next week
SkyBus before the end of May

I would know. I'm a rocket surgeon.


Good times.

Didn't you also stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?
