Sjs

I think SJS is fading. I think that has a strong affect when you have a fresh commercial rating or maybe you are at 400 hrs getting to put on a uniform and walk a terminal. I don't think that will work so much on someone who has done various things to get to 1500 hrs and has a ton of debt. It will come down to dollars. Supply and demand may just finally kick in in the next few years. Maybe the majors will just have to fly the e175 themselves. Either way it is gonna get interesting.

Two classic lines.....(blank) airline will never get those planes because they cant staff them. Second, SJS is fading. Nope, deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want that sj, you NEED that sj.

Brian those planes will have 46 seats and your contract pays per seating

example 900s for Delta were paying 700 rates at JFK before

thank Andy and Don L from 2003

Its pretty much a moot point, only 2 of the new 900's are 76 seats. the other 7 are 90 seats. with our line guarantee if you have a line with all 78 or 90 seat planes your getting paid for the larger aircraft even if you get swapped into the 76 seat aircraft. and if you get a line with all 76 seat flying and get swapped into the 78 seat you get paid for the 78 seater hours flown. Our negotiators are working on getting away from the 50-76 seat scale and greater than 76 seat pay scale.

I was commuting through PHX last week and I did notice an E170 parked at the Mesa maintenance hangar. It had some strange paintjob on it with what looked like a wave painted on the tail?uke:

That's CalPac's plane which is currently leased to Honeywell. At least Teddy has decided to do something with the plane other than let it sit there and eat through his cash reserves.
