Chautaqua to lose Continental flying?????

[Grey Ghost]

Is there any truth to this rumor? :uzi:

 

[BcPilot99]

Doubtful....

 

[Tug Driver]

nope, no truth what-so-ever. its a complete lie.

 

[flyer172r]

Bedford will probably mention the possibility in his next sermon in an effort to get us to give up our vacations again, but I doubt Continental would go through all the effort to start up the CHQ flying just to dump them that quickly.

 

[ATRCA]

??? Again with this?????

It is unknowable at this point!! Anyone who says otherwise is full of $hit!

 

[Bushhatesyou]

Cal would never admit they made a mistake...

 

[mack82]

CHQ is, however, being booted-off some of the longer routes from IAH, such as MSP, because of range problems with the CRJ. I could be wrong, but I think in exhange for that they have been picking up more of the shorter routes instead.

 

[Master Shake]

CHQ is safe. There is no replacement (currently available) for them if they were to leave.

Yeah, go on believing that. They are irreplaceable the same way the Titanic was unsinkable. Any regional can be replaced.

As I remember, Regions got the axe pretty quick... (no offense to any of their pilots) It's not impossible.

Again? Did you give it up before?

 

[aewanabe]

No, he just means Bedford will make the effort again

Is it true Bebford talks about Jesus in his company e-mails?

Bedford is playing the pilots and their union the way Eric Clapton plays a guitar.

 

[captjim]

I highly doubt CHQ is going anywhere. The CAL management, like said before would never admit they made a mistake. Those guys hate Jim Ream to much to beg him to order 44 more XR's, because they didn't do their do diligence.

 

[drinksonme]

CHQ numbers are actually better for May out IAH. Only 3 cancellation, 2 due to MX and 1 due to staffing. Before you know it, mgmt at CAL will be mentally masterbating their shareholders on the great decsion they have made as CAL paves the way into the future of commercial aviation. Wonder how much longer the CAL's pension will be in place since they have sold everything they own to fund it. They now needing high revenue to pay for all of the new 737's and 787's. Since contract talks with the pilots are coming up, it is perfect timing to have all revenue going out the door to growth. Bean counters at work.

 

[BoilerUP]

Sounds like you actually *want* CAL pilots to capitulate on scope (the only damn thing they have other than the pension) and allow more than 50 seats to be outsourced...is that right?

 

[ohplease!]

don't bet on it. Ask your friendly ASA person about DFW, SLC, CVG and LAX...

But the thing I really need is more cow-bell.

 

[Tarzan]

CHQ and XJT guys are a hoot whenever someone floats some flame bait like that. Those panties get twisted in a New York Minute! They come from everywhere to decry the fact as though they trying to convince themselves that this rumor could never be true.

However, I heard the other day that XJT was making a move to purchase Republic. Then for a merger, the entire list at Republic would be stapled.

Ya, in one day maybe.

Bedford worships God, but Clapton is God.

First off if those numbers are for real thats great, but you do realize you are posting numbers for the month and it is just mid month??

Really? Does that include the guy that called scheduling and quit while sitting in the cockpit and then walked off? Come on, 3 MX cancelations? We've run more extra segments to cover your canceled flights than that. You're being sold magic beans from his holeyness.

Mcpickle, His holeyness isn't telling me anything, I work for the same company you do boss. I was merely pointing out that the previous person was posting monthly stats before the month was even over with. Which doesnt make them very good Stats considering the month isn't over.

Then Bedford's God is Clapton. No wonder none of his prayers are being answered.

I think Pickle quoted your post by mistake.

xjt is covering extra sections cause from what i hear we couldn't handle everything this fast. At the end of the summer when everyone is staffed and we have more planes, we'll get the sections back. Have no clue what is going on in IAH...I avoid that place.
