How's Evergreen??

[Getter]

Anyone have the scoop on Evergreen? I know ALPA has been on the property for a while now and I'm curious to hear how the environment is over there these days. I understand they continue to hire and things are looking up, but maybe thats cool aid. I would appreciate any info!

Thanks,
Getter

I don't think much has changed with ALPA..They do do a better job of collecting money but the contract has been at a stand still for a while. As far as the airline goes there is talk of two more -200's and we should have the first of the 3 -400BCF's next summer and the LCF seems to be picking up. Thats all I have!!

We are still 90% AMC 10 % hongkong backhauls.because we can get the airplane over there for free.When the AMC flying stops maybe next year its going to get ugly,We owe alot of money to the banks/bonds.If your out of a job go ahead.Mostly good people.VP/DO/clueless

Is the AMC dropping you guys next year (maybe)?

 

[Zoneload]

No I am pretty sure we will keep our flying with AMC just like we do every year. If they start pulling troops out the flying might slow down. We will see what happens!!

AMC flying is sewn up until 2013

New administration in 2009! they might have the thread ripper! Not good for any of us flying AMC.

When it comes to AMC flying,you can't count on any thing.One week 20 flights/next week 5.When will it end who knows,We stoped flying QF in 2001,Atlas got 4 trips per week with 400.WE lost money on it for 10 years.

Last I checked, troops coming home when our presence no longer serves a purpose is a good thing for everyone.........even for us guys that fly AMC.

I have 10 AMC flights a week every week some times more...

Another brilliant retort from you. You're a moron.

Don't companies that fly AMC have to a certain percentage of their flying non-AMC related? ie non-military contracts.

Yes, and there is also a min crew staffing. Not sure what the real numbers are though.
