Eastern Airlines making a comeback

Plus all the guys with records and dwi's and sodomy of barnyard animals will be applying.

I'm not sure, but I think you just managed to insult damn near everyone on FI in one post! Nicely done!

:beer:

Haven't they heard that Doug Parker is consolidating the industry? Oh well, there goes the raise. We can't have costs above those of new entrants, right?

The good times lasted for about 50 days this time.

Their second Airbus will carry the name, "The Spirit of Skybus"

That pretty much sums it up.

Maybe not all of flight info but probably the general.

Call me sentimental, but I do like the look of the old Eastern paint scheme on the Mini-Bus:

Many good memories flying on Eastern as a youth in the 1980s...

I wish them luck, every airline was new once upon a time. That said, it's a super duper long shot they make it past a couple years.

Same thing everyone said about JetBlue.... I remember jumpseating on ACA and the FO had gotten hired. The Captain was telling him "You are an idiot to leave here for that JetBlue job when your going to be upgrading in 5 months on the RJ." Yep that didn't work out so well for the ACA Capt. dude. JetBlue guy is probably in the top 10%.

You just never know......

The key to their success will be how well they are financed, as well as have they identified their 'niche'. If they have a market unfilled and good financing, then they will make it. Otherwise.......

Peace.

Some people have also met powerball winners.

I'm not putting anyone down, but the odds are long. Vanguard, Eastwind, Air
South, Hooters Air, Midway I and II, Braniff II, PanAm II, National II, Pride Air... Remember Kiwi?

Lot's of attempts, very few success stories. On the plus side, their Chairman appears to be no slouch.

You kidding they probably have a thousand applications already. People don't even know what they're paying or work rules but they see that airbus with the sweet eastern logo and they're in. Just want to get in on that ground floor and get rich . Just like the dopes that went to skybus. Hey here's 50000 shares in our worthless piece of ********************e company. oooh oohh ooh im in! Plus all the guys with records and dwi's and sodomy of barnyard animals will be applying.

(In my best sling-blade voice)

True

Probably the best was one of my dad's military flying buddies that went back to his hometown to fly Falcon 20's. Nobody could understand why he didn't go to Eastern or PanAm.

Well the Falcon thing was FedEx....
