On Demand Cargo Pay DA-20 F/O

[pilotyip]

Vortexes I sense you are a non-believer? You have to relax and the on-demand force will be with you my son. Car sales are up; Ford and Chrx are going to match GM's discounts, model change over coming. The credit guru's just upgraded Visteon (sp.?) and GM notes based upon recent performance all the signs are there for a ball buster fall. Pools have a half-life of about 3 months. That means my pool of 12 will reduced to 3 or 4 by December. Lots of pilots looking to move, best bet interviewing by end of the year. Hiring early 2006.

2LT I detect "negative vibes", however there is good news in that article and yes the second 1/4 results will be bad, but the second 1/4 is behind us. Yes suppliers are still struggling. But the auto markers are poised for big increases in production with new models, start up launch problems and the proof of the pudding will be the big kick off in on-demand flying starting on the 25th of July. You watch.
