ive heard zero talk of west coast bases. Only mention of it was on this site I believe. I doubt even if that was to happen it wouldn't for some time. I can just hear the junior man/ check out message call now for a 7 leg dead head out of the east coast to the west coast to fly one leg, then get in the back as some other FO gets to fly the return leg, then dead head back 8 or 9 legs to get home. Hey its happened to me a bunch of times. Gotta wonder whats going on up in SBY sometimes? The crew skeds job of coordinating this stuff must be harder than it appears to me, theres got to be more to it than meets the eye. Because some of the desicions just dont make any sense at the time. Am I missing something?

Did a bunch of schedulers (or any) come over from ALG? Anyone know the mix of skeds and dispatchers that made it over?

 

[Dash8]

no schedulers came over that i'm aware of, not sure how many dispatchers, but i do know that some did

Word from the training dep, is that they were going to rev up newhire and upgrades classes for PHX flying. But, when Mesa heard this, they reminded AWA that Mesa holds all the rights for any connecting flights for AWA in and out of PHX till 2007. So Nov and Dec newhire classes were CNX and Dec upgrade class was CNX. Newhire and upgrade class should start in Jan.

hard to think that AW forgot that they had a contract with mesa. another good rumor though. I'll go ahead and start spreading this one, and that one about the 10-12 new(old) 200s that will be on-line soon.

Also, start spreading the one about Mid atlantic guys coming back to PDT, with their original seniority. Thats a good way to get some guys steamed. I know theres no language written for that as far as I know, and I dont really claim to know much of anything. But what do you all think about that? I vote no. Discuss.

Ouch! Now that would be a tuff pill to swallow!! Coming back to old Piedmont!! Man those old ALG guys are gonna love the training department!!!
Bring me another Beer Teddy!! This is gonna be fun to watch!!!

just to add to the paint shop list. Dothan Alabama (DTH I believe) and Alexandria, Louisiana (AEX) have airline capable paint shops.
