DAL AE is out

[GogglesPisano]

SVO (UUEE) now that is a lot of fun this time of year!

Yes. Rather nipply. But the ever-present cigarette smoke keeps you warm.

And beer stores on each street.

2 6 days can equal 80 hours. That means 18 days off a month. I have heard NWA has some 12 day trips to Asia, and then 18 days off in a row. What? Somebody will actually miss you? Is it John McCain or Sarah Palin? That suks.

Bye Bye--General Lee

Bingo.

I fly 2 6 day trips next month with 18 days off. Each at 35+ hours. Commutable on both ends. Throw in a little delay out of JFK, CDG or MIA and I am looking at 75-80 hours for 12 days work...

Works for me!

6 days? No Thank YOU!!!

Not that many of them.
Commuters like them - 2 commutes and you are done.
Some guys actually live in the middle layover city.

Yes. Rather nipply. But the ever-present cigarette smoke keeps you warm.

I've got a DME coming up. Any good bars other than 'The Real McCoy' to recommend.

AE 777 to fund out through 2009?

Look at the MEMO on flightops page dated 20 Nov...from GM Flight Ops
Bullet number 6

"The ATL 777 Captain and First Officer positions will complete the funding of the six 777LRs that are scheduled for delivery during the first half of 2009."

I'm not so sure the next bid will be any bigger...maybe a cleanup?

 

[ACL65PILOT]

It reads first half of 2009, not the second half. There are more jets coming in the second half of next year. Fact is that they could make the next AE a 6, 9, or 12 month conversion. They could award the positions in feb, but not train them until the jets showed up later in the year.

So ,from an outsider, in terms of hiring, does this mean maybe, and of course that term is used lightly, maybe hiring in late 2009? ( of course many factors involved ) Sooner sounds a little far fetched with capacity cuts in the works.... only a guess.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

It totally depends on the economy.
