Industry is getting bad

[siucavflight]

And to add to it
US airways cancels interviews.

 

[Heavy Set]

Skywest stops all newhire classes(except for a few on the Bro, and that should stop soon).
ASA.
Delta shrinking 15-25 RJs out of fleet.
UAL today announced that all newhire classes are cancelled.
Delta wants to cut 30,000 out of 52,000 jobs.
Dollar is continuing to weaken.
And today XJET announces that they will be offering COLA.

Not a good time to be on the bottom of anyones list. This sucks. Usually you can get a good 7 years on the upswing of a cycle. This one was very short lived, and the down side of this cycle will be lower then post 9/11.

I think Delta was looking for 2000 people to take an early out offer, and they were offering that to 30,000 employees. I don't think they wanted 30,000 to take the early out. And, to qualify you needed to have 29.5 years at the company. So, that means a lot of old people are being asked, and maybe 2000 will take it.

 

[JediNein]

The COLAs at XJT were offered weeks ago.

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

.....silly me....I thought I could change things and make a difference....

So is that ALPA's fault or yours... part of being a mature profressional is understand the environement in which you intend to operate...

But its easier to blame someone else... Right Sharpton, er I mean Jesse, oops, I mean Joey..

ALPA has made just about every mistake possible since 1978......The quagmire is to deep now to get out of.......

The biggest mistake was that the other ALPA guys didn't listen to you...

But they are listening now... aren't they Joey bin Legal Laden... you showed them with you lawsuit...

 

[Long Time Gone]

Boys, boys..........

Calm down.

The real question is simple......









Is that Topanga???

 

[amcnd]

Thanks on the avatar compliment, they are big.

Who is going to take the RJ hit that Delta is cutting out? My guess would be comair and SKW.

SkyWest is already at there minimum aircraft count in our contract with Delta. My guess Mesa/comair

FedEx Corp.'s net income fell 6 percent in its third quarter ended Feb. 29 due to what CEO Fred Smith called a "challenging economy."

FedEx posted revenue of $9.44 billion in the third quarter, up 10 percent from $8.59 billion during the same period last year.

The company recorded net income of $393 million, or $1.26 per diluted share for the third quarter, compared to $420 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, a year ago.

This industry has never been good. Next topic.

 

[pilotyip]

Not True

This industry has never been good. Next topic.

There was a time between 1984 and 1988, that at the majors you made Captain in five years, pay rasies, better benefits, it was a great time

 

[AWACO]

SKYW stock to fall to 9.00 (is 20.00 now).....this according to DEN FO, its ishare so it must be true. (benifits)

 

[Way2Broke]

Get in where you fit in boys. You might be there a while. I think I'm all set for now. I'm enjoying the adventure, but maybe I'm sick. I didn't become a pilot get rich (although that would be a nice side affect). I signed up because I knew it would put me in situations that I never would have been in otherwise, and because I knew that I would meet people and see things that most people don't think exist. Get on the bull now because..... your 8 seconds doesn't last long. YeeeHaw!
