I flew with a guy that knows a guy.... really..... that is on the management side of the table. He said that eventually the pilots "would be very happy" and that drawing it out like this is posturing and typical. (Like we didn't already know.) Nothing was going to heppen soon, though.
EFB was pushed back, at least 3 months, maybe longer. They found too much stuff missing on the LIDO charts that they wanted, so they are looking at them, page by page.
Big seat bid soon- training cycle dates are ending. Ramping up MD-11 off campus training.
Oh, short course for MD-11 right seaters going to the left seat. ALPA imposed, I heard. Only 2 weeks shorter, you lose some systems time and a week of BST's. Still have to do death by LOFT.
Just flew with a senior LCA last week. Fresh from the rumor mill:
90 interviews this month
MD-11/10 to ramp up to 150 airplanes over the next three years
Buying every A300/310 we can get our hands on
FDX wants 5500 pilots by the end of 2008 (500-ish to retire within that time)
Euro-SIBA to become a Maddog base (1 airplane type over in Europe)
