Typical response from someone who's been completely discredited. Can't defend your position.

Wow...I used to think this guy posted some decent info...After this, I am clearly wrong....obviously not one that offers credibilty in his response....Lets hope this is a "one off" poor reply to a subject he is clearly off base with no decent intelligence on.

MJ42;1540439 Yeager's Philadelphia service said:Uh oh, WSurf, Piedmont's better be careful. Based on your theory, they may have to furlough by summer. If you're senior enough you'll be ok in the Dash, turboprops are good. Just goes to show you, do enough research and you can find someone to support any "theory". NOBODY knows until it happens, you idiot![/COLOR]
I have a dog in this fight. I am going to class at Compass next week. bad time to get back into the industry. As for the DC-9's going away who knows but it is a lot cheaper to park a paid-for aircraft than to park an aircraft you are making payments on. Right now the name of the game is not to keeping the most efficient aircraft flying but to reduce capacity to the point that the demand is high enough to raise fares. If Northwest has enough demand they will keep the -9's flying if they don't they will be parked very quickly. United Airlines has already said that they have a 100 planes paid for that they can park if fuel goes over $100/bbl.
The regional feed will also be cut. First, by schedule reductions, then by number of aircraft contracted. Most airlines can cancel a regional's contract without cause if they give 6 months notice. Sooner with cause. I was bumped out of the DoJet by Delta this way.
I have no idea how what amount of aircraft would have to be cut to cause NWA furloughs and flow backs. NWA could just stop hiring and let attrition tke care of the rest rather than pay for a system realignment bump and flush. I am very concerned about flowbacks. For the short term however, the system realignments caused by furloughs would take longer than the need for pilots at Compass to staff the 2 A/C that are arriving per month. Of course they could stop taking A/C.
If anyone knows the ratio of NWA mainline A/C to 76 seat A/C that are allowed. could they post it?
Yep, there you go! Piedmont's gonna start parking Turbo Props. Heheheheheh
You mean theres a major that doesn't have major pilot issues????????? heheheh
