For those of you that have jumped ship to go to another regional?

[DrewBlows]

Thanks for all the replies... I was mainly asking b/c there are people jumping ship and it has crossed my mind more then once. So I sent out a few resumes and have got a call back from almost all of them As for better equipment an rj or crj. And Drew I talked to you in the crewroom a few weeks ago for your taxi repo to the mx hanger. Which did not happen. I do not know if you are senior to me or not. I was in the first class in Aug.

Thanks again,
Props

Yeah, that pretty much sucked. You are definately ahead of me, I was in the last class not to be furloughed. If I were in your shoes (which I kind of am), I would stick around a little while longer. The recent rumours have been good and Delta just took possession of the 328's, so there should be some news shortly.

Good luck.

I just thought of something. The mass exodus as of late at yx jr. is very typical pilot behavior. Kind of the heard mentality.

Examples.

They deiced so we should too.
They made it throught the thunder storm so we can too.
The landed so we should too ("I think I see the lights...").


Works most of the time, but sometimes it will bite you in the ass.

Note: I'm not picking on you Props, I don't know your situation, just making an observation.

I guess I just don't get why an rj is "better" equipment.......than I am guessing a turboprop?

I am gonna have to agree with the majority. I would stay till you have a reason to leave. The only way I would leave is to not have to commute.

quick subject change, any new news on the Delta deal? Just curious, since there is another talk with Jim Rankin on the 14th

Delta has, apparantly, taken delivery of the airplanes, so hopefully we hear something in the near future.


From form 8K SEC filing 3/21/05

FLYi, Inc. (NASDAQ/NM: FLYI) (“FLYi”), parent of low-fare airline Independence Air, announced today that it has completed the assignment of 30 Fairchild-Dornier 328JET regional jet aircraft to Delta Air Lines. These aircraft had formerly been used as part of the Delta Connection program.



As previously disclosed in the Form 8-K filed February 25, 2005, the lenders in the leases for the 30 aircraft have effectively released FLYi and Independence Air from all future obligations for these 30 aircraft. As partial consideration therefor, approximately 1.5 million shares of FLYi’s common stock is being issued to these lenders. While the owner participant in the leveraged leases has not committed to a release of FLYi and Independence Air, the lenders, which have an assignment of the owner participant’s interest in the leases and have a priority of payment superior to that of the owner participant, have committed that they will not assert any claims against FLYi with respect to events occurring after assumption by Delta. The lenders have also agreed that, if FLYi is required to make any payments under the leases and the lenders receive any portion of such payments, they will return those payments to FLYi. As addressed in the Form 8-K filed by FLYi on February 22, 2005, in February 2005 Independence Air paid the balance of the January lease payment on the 328Jet aircraft. In connection with assignment of the 30 328Jet aircraft, Delta has reimbursed such payment with respect to the assigned aircraft.



Independence Air retains two leased 328JET aircraft and one owned 328JET, which it is actively marketing for sale.
