They added 493 to the plot and they show it in a C check and bridging.

That is good news. Details on 493? Is it a PAX Conversion or Factory Freighter? GE or Pratt Engines?

 

[Zoneload]

It's N741WA converted pax plane. I think it has Pratt engines.

N741WA parked by our genius management at World with business available. It is a converted pax with Pratt engines. You will enjoy the 8 business seats on the upper deck.

Do you think Evergreen will be hiring anytime soon? There are plenty of World 747 FO's looking for work!

So much for the hope of getting that airplane back!:crying: That is really bad news. 741 was one of our best flyers. Seats in back need to be fixed. A little worn out. You can reactivate Auto-Start too.
I thought Evergreen was on its last breath, then I looked around and realized its World....

No because we currently have plenty of F/O's still on furlough.

I thought Evergreen was on its last breath, then I looked around and realized its World....

isn't that amazing? I recall back about 6 years ago, clawing to get an interview at World and never even bothering to apply at Evergreen.

I fee especially bad for all of those former Gemini captains and others who found a job there only to lose it again.

Having said that, the word from Evergreen is they're on their last change to get their business back on it's feet.... their sales department main has been under pressure to get them new business... Sadly, the blame is more on the fact that they're running a very inefficient fleet and not the lack of sales efforts.

hear a rumor that they're recalling everyone by summer... not true?

I never agreed with the furlough that we have. We also have too many down graded captains. The issue will be the log jam at the school house if they recall too fast.

I think that there is 12 of us in a hiring pool as well, from interviews in, I think I went in November. Not sure how thats gonna work out.

my friend was hired by them last year in the pool and they flushed him out and started hiring later... it was amazing. He was floored by it.. he called them and they just said "sorry"..

 

[scubabri]

My gut says thats probably gonna happen again. I have no 121 time, mostly lears, king airs and caravans. I doubt that any of the other ACMI's will have me unless stuff REALLY turns around. So I was really excited about Evergreen, despite the reputation.

Are new President/CEO is making some changes. So far so good I guess. We have a long way to go but it looks better than it did a few months ago.

They have never treated anyone with respect and can't believe it when they don't get the same in return. When I left I did it by the book but they still managed to screw with my pay and owed benifits etc after I left and others I know.

Zoneload;

What are the changes? Rumors of new planes is nothing new for the zone. Have any showed up on the ramp?

Were there any other major management changes? i.e. Did the new CEO clean house and get rid of all the incompetents? Did he bring in a new group of senior managers that at least had a clue?

Did the flightcrews get a contract?

Is EZ paying the huge bills owed to its vendors?

Or is Delford using the arrival of a new CEO to buy himself some more time to misapropriate airline money to line his personal pockets?

 

[Zoneload]

Well let's see. Pilots are being called back from furlough. 400 training has started. Work has picked up since the new sales people arrived. Lots of behind the scenes stuff going on that is not seen from the 5 towns lobby. I do not think you can come in and change this place in a few months. It's going to take time and all I said was lets give the new guy a chance.

Just so you know when you get a plane you don't fly it away that day. One plane is in China having a door put in it and the other is in MZJ in bridging and C check. If you have access to the flight plot you will see the blue MX lines next to the tail numbers. I agree that there have been other planes that we were getting that never showed. But those planes were never added to the flight plot.

any word if contract negotiations are going to get a higher priority?

No negotiations scheduled. The new contract might be settled in another 10 years maybe.
