More US Air recalls

[Green]

i guess the sarcasm wasn't thick enough..

Whose money bought who..

I don't think anyone could find money that AWA produced to "buy" USAirways.... It was a bunch of outside investors..

That being said..... I won't argue that USAirways wasn't a cadever waiting for embalming fluid either...

As far as movement ABE... you'll have plenty when all the 50+ crowd starts croaking/retiring soon at AAA.

Of course we could start a whole age 60/65 retirement thread on that comment.

US ATP - Apprx $10,000
Bachelors Degree - Apprx $40,000
Years of Debt while earning commuter pilot wages - $10,000
A US Airways seniority number - $ self-respect, dignity, a house in Coraopolis
A US Airways furlough notice - $ About six months flying at PSA Junior High

Finally finding a good corporate job and bidding farewell to an airline "career"? - Priceless.

America West guys don't give up .We chose AWA and as for as I'm concerned it will allways be AWA that pulled them out of the fire. If I post nothing from here on. Doug made the choice to make this a "We need you type of deal". Wrong. He only made it l seem like that to make the merger "easier".

Let me continue that for you....

Three years later that good corporate job turns sour when fuel prices skyrocket and earnings are down... Plane gets sold.. back on street..

Fly for freight outfit...see world....get furloughed..

Back looking at what USAir is doing and recall schedule while hoping that you can avoid hauling passengers again??........Oh the agony!!!!


You gotta see the full story to have the proper perspective on things! Beer fishing and women......yep now that is priceless!

Now Bender, you know you're still thinking about it even though you know better!

What's AAA

I've followed these US Airways E vs. W threads for a little bit and still haven't caught on to what AAA is & why? Any help for the uninformed? Thank you.

 

[BenderGonzales]

I know Swaayze... kinda like picking up a gal at a truckstop. You know better, but for some reason you can't help but look.

AAA is the identifier for US Airways (East). AAA was taken from the original company that US Air can trace its roots to: All American Aviation, Inc.

 

[VeeOne]

What's the deal with a possible 737-800 rumor??? Does anyone feel there is some validity to this???

 

[Green]

No....

If we do get them they will be replacement aircraft like everything else we buy

 

[Hpilot]

737-800

Yup, replacement aircraft 4-5 years down the road.

From a US jumpseater, the lastest bid has 50 recalls but net minus 5 seat positions.

The rumor has it that some on property pilots will get bumped down to the 190 F/O.
