I heard we are getting 30 more SAABS. Unfortuneatly they will be of the 900 Turbo variety(much cheaper to lease than a 340 or 1900),and we will have to pay for our own CDL training.

So - does anyone know what the "big news" is? I never know anything except for what I learn here.

The information tab on the website still says we'll be opening up SHD in May. Good to know...

Yea the annoucement was that US Airways has asked us to bend over becuase they want to see how far up out a$$es they can stick us. Sorry that was totally out of my character. Anyway the annoucment was just to tell us about the new term pass "priledges" that we are being granted by US Airways (my favorite part of the memo was how nice they made us getting screwed over... well its a tie between that and the little note at the bottom that told us to budget accordingly) not only are they service charge but we have to pay the taxes too... (Just to let you know, we did the math and a BOS-LAS ticket will now cost you about $120) better get those jumpseat forms ready.

Woah there killer I might have to tell Charlie to calm you down haha. Yeah that pretty much sucks but I dont think thats the real "big anouncement" though. I will be getting writers cramp from filling out those j/s forms but that will only last until I can get that stamp made..haha Maybe the big announcement will be that there is no big announcement. hmmmm. The only thing Im worried about is that from what Ive heard is that most big announcements are not good.

Well do the math for the JS at US and it comes to 200.00 bucks.!!

Jumpseating is free, its non-reving that costs...

Do we have to call it something other than Non-Reving now?? Becuase since we pay for it we are revenue therefor not a non-rev....

I know, I am kidding.

But it is rumored that US is going to charge for JS.
