Crizz said:Had a "very senior" jumpseater from FlyI the other day, and he was saying that loads were 90%+ and they were going to break even or possibly make money this summer. Is this true?
Thanks!

IT MUST BE TRUE!
GogglesPisano said:Loads are up (above 90% on the Busses to the West Coast.) Not as high on the RJ's. Attrition is supposedly 1 pilot/day. Lots of sick calls due to interviewing/job fairs and this is causing cancellations (it doesn't help that they over-furloughed to begin with.) We have approx 800 pilots on the list (peak of 1650 pre-911)
Rumor has it that we failed to meet whatever financial targets GECAS set out when we refinanced back in Feb and they may take the 8 CRJs that are in the balance (I think 'may' = 'very likely') bringing us down to 50 CRJ's. No new A319's above the 12 until Jan '06. Due to attrition, even if the 8 CRJ's go the company feels that it may not need to furlough more. As a matter of fact, some voluntary furloughees are being asked to come back.
They will reverse -split the stock to get it above $1.00 and thus stave off a NASDAQ delisting.
Bottom line: A gutsy experiment poorly executed resulting in a mass exodus of pilots (and a decimation of shareholder value.) Loads are up but yield is what makes or breaks any airline, and in this fare environment and with oil being what it is ... I see things really start to happen quickly after Labor Day (and I don't mean good things.)

And, if it is a chick, is it a really hairy one with cankles from hell and a butt as wide as a barn door? Inquiring minds want to know.
Maybe I'm just getting cold feet . . ..
BigHangar said:Question. I was in OKC yesterday, and I noticed about 6 or 7 Flyi CRJs just sitting on the ramp. What's up with that? I was wondering if it is a paint shop, or if it's where the company is just sending them when they take them out of service.
