First of all, it feels fine to be below 280, longer block time equals bigger paycheck. Secondly, all of these bottom feeder cargo ops have pissed off pilots too, we have some Capital guys here that swear the same about Cappy and its management. Third, no one has been laid off from here, we have had 3 fired, and they needed to be. We are still hiring, so PFT has nothing to do with it, besides they don't get too many guys willing to PFT. I have been here longer than most Captains, so what makes you think that I would know more about the company as a Captain? Grow up, and for the love of god, please never show off your sexy legs to us, don't fly in your shorts! PEACE!!

If distress.net is going to take all our lift, why on why did they leave an airplane on the BAX ramp for two weeks and not fly it once with BAX freight? No doggy bones for ENA?

Let me get this straight... A guy from Custom makes a comment about Capital, and now you're being nasty about ENA? WTFO?? "Distress.net". Wow, you're a witty one.

What was that you said about complaining on flightinfo?

Menlo sucks

I can't wait for this Emery hub to shut down, it sucks anyway, there is much better flying out there. UPS can have it. What can brown do for me? Shut it down and let the rest of us improve the quality of our lives.

There is a surplus of 727 ACMI lift right now which will increase exponentially when DAY closes. Where do you think there is enough flying for 15 727's? Not to mention the Express.Net 727's and A300's that will be looking for freight too.

Dosen't Express.Net only have one or two 727's left? And they're getting rid of them to be all a-300's?

I think they have a couple more than that, but they're mostly used for the horse charters from what I've heard. When I talked to their HR dept. a couple of months ago they had no plans for growing the 727 fleet, but they weren't planning on getting rid of them either.

I believe there are 5 or 6 727's, and only one is used for horses. I've heard of no plans to get rid of them.

There you go again with this bad attitude thing............
It's not my fault....... but if you cant stand the heat or you dont like your employer then QUIT!!!! if you think that there is a greener pasture out there where you can make this kind of money to start then by all means MOVE ON!!! But don't wish everyone bad (or unemployment) because your'e having a bad day.... It's time all you new guys to wise up and understand the big picture instead of this dismissive and put down attitude that seems to permiate the waves these days.

What the heck is so wrong with paying for your FE ticket? Can anyone generate a list of companies that will hire you as an FE and take care of your ticket? Seems like you have to have the rating to get a job nowadays.

Well, they used to pay for it when the 3 pilot planes were still being widley used like they were back in the day. When the Legacy Airlines all had the 707's, 727's, DC-10's, L10-11's, alot of newhires started in the FE seat, even though they also had PFE's. My father had to start as a 727 and DC10 engineer with AA, and AA paid for his ticket. When I got my first 727 freight job, I had zero large jet time, and that company paid for my FE ticket.
