job security and aviation in the same sentence, now that is an oxymoron.

Where is the AMEN button when needed!!

 

[belchfire]

Metros would be cool.

Only during the winter...hotter than Hades in the summer though!

Heard it may have just fallen through.

source???

Huh. That would be interesting because I heard the plane has been at our MX base in Oscoda for at least a few weeks.

i guess we will know monday if they rescind that bid.

 

[Sky Jet]

Well, 1700 Monday came and went and not a peep from YIP either about the bid results or the airplane. I guess we wait. It's not like anyone could lose their job or seat anyway. (sarcasm lever full on)

 

[skypine69]

Bid gets announced on the 10th. Closes on the 9th.

 

[Sky Jet]

Bid canceled per Pete. I wonder if we are back to furloughs?

Doubt it. Connie is aggressively persuing airplanes, hopefully deal comes through soon.

 

[lionflyer]

Why would they announce a new 400 if it wasn't a done deal? Another moral kick in the nuts maybe? I know the old man was looking at 5 of them so who knows maybe a better deal is in the works.

Plenty of planes for sale and more coming on the market by the week. Downgraded two Captains and has 7, 7 FO's on furlough, sorry that makes zero sense if you are going to buy airplanes. That just pisses off the group and makes them less willing to help. I'm out!

The word was that after doing an inspection it (ex Jade) was a POS that need millions spent to fix plus a heavy check and the sellers wouldn't budge on the price. Connie is looking and needs the 400's, we'll see.

Atlas looked at the Jade planes last year and discovered that serial numbers did not match up on a lot of the parts. Documentation sucked. Imagine that?

That is only 1/2 of the problem. The other half is that GE is not going to finance an airplane that is not airworthy and would take several months to become airworthy. I think we dodged a bullet with this one.
