Rhino said:Yesterday I spoke with a supervisor of maintenance for Alaska Airlines. He is a Master Chief in my Navy Reserve squadron, and he was explaining to me that the -200s were going away because of an expensive maintenance check that would be due in the near future, and that instead the company will be leasing the -300s for less money. He also said there would be no net increase in total aircraft (as of the current plan that may change tomorrow).
Being home for dinner most every night sure sounds great!
Singlecoil said:I disagree with mach none. I think the Anchorage base is going to double in size in the next few years. The company spends a lot of money on hotels in Anchorage right now. Make the Anchorage base a 200, 300, 400 base and you can alleviate many of those hotel costs. The base needs to get bigger to be more efficient with regards to reserves. Once the 200s are all gone, then they can make it a 300, 400, NG base along with Seattle and LA. Once that happens you can have ANC crews doing trips similar to the ANC flight attendants, who work trips all over the system. While that will mean a lot more time away from home for ANC crews, it will also mean more opportunities to upgrade.
Alaskaairlines said:Any idea what the new destinations may be? Would the -300's be coming from out of the desert, possibly old US, UA, FR planes?
mach none said:Rumors, rumors and more rumors. I hope we have class soon. It sure would be nice for the poolies.
