I'm sorry, do you work here? Do you know who our managers are? How about sticking to your beautiful citation ultra, hopefully you know as much about your current job as you seem to think you know about all others.

I hear of good things on the DIP front lately......nothing reliable enough to even post here though (I know, it is a seriously low threshold for some..........lol)

F9 Keep your head up and try to keep this out of the cockpit...........

We're hearing good things on that front too. And so far the cockpit atmosphere really hasn't suffered too much. Obviously everyone has a different situation, I could turn job number two into job number one, but all things being equal, i'd like us to survive long term.

save your breath climb, he doesnt work for f9 and all he knows about the mngmt is what he read on this board. however, he does love to chime in everytime something negative comes up on these threads. strange to say the least. ultra will get his before long.

So what is the reward for the guys flying the planes to hang around that year?
A kick in the A....?

Sounds like a great idea.

Bingo! We have a winner!

The 7th has come and gone and still no F9 planes flying to China....im sure it hurts you .....but maybe next week.

...bids are out for contractors to fly planes out of Den, looks like Jun 3 - Jun 7th. Good luck, I hope something changes, but I saw the flyaway package for 6 A319s DEN to China.

Frontier to retain all planes

Frontier Airlines has elected to retain the 70 planes in its fleet and has made payments to stay current on all aircraft leases and financing agreements.
On April 10, the Denver-based airline filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following a demand by First Data Corp., its credit-card processor, that Frontier significantly increase the reserves the airline must deposit with First Data.
Federal bankruptcy rules allowed Frontier to suspend payments on its aircraft for 60 days following the Chapter 11 filing but required the carrier to decide by the end of that period whether it would affirm or reject leases or other contracts related to the planes.
"On the 60th day, however, we had to make these outstanding payments or the aircraft lender/lessor might have been able to take possession of the aircraft," said Frontier spokesman Steve Snyder today.
"We are current on all our aircraft leases and financing," Snyder added, but he would not say how much money the airline paid to get up to date on the pacts.
Frontier's fleet consists of 60 Airbus jets, 22 owned by the carrier and 38 leased, Snyder said.
The airline also has 10 Bombardier Q-400 turboprop regional aircraft, with five of them owned by Frontier and five leased.
Of the decision to retain the fleet, Snyder said, "This shows progress and is another step in the reorganization of the company."

I'm sure this will only stall the great negative minds from flightinfo.com for a day or so...but i'm happy for small victories these days.

They chose to "retain" all 70 planes today. That does not mean that we will not turn around tomorrow and sell another four 318's to pay the light bill. Their hand was forced with the 1110 motion. Now they are on the hook for all of the lease payments going forward, and with oil at $130 it is a certainty that more airframes will be sold to repair the balance sheet.
