No memo but it was openly talked about in the annual "state of the union" type meeting last week at Midwest.

Good luck to all @ SYX! My 3 weeks there were great (until the last 2 days) They are a great group of people, stuck between a rock and a hard place. Most of the "furloughed 20" have moved on, and found other jobs. Myself included. I will probably be commuting on SYX alot so I will still see some of you. Thanks to G.P. , jobear, 248 & all the other SYX'ers for their advice, and for telling me about Air Cargo Carriers.

I'm gonna go practice flying my square (SD3) now.

grow facial hair. Then you'll look like Ron Jeremy. That look seems to be working for him.

This isn't over yet! Althougth we should know something (hopefully) soon enough. If this thing is gonna start in May they are gonna have to make an anouncement here soon since training take about 2 months.

Although right now I would be happy if someone would say something one way or another about the deal. We have as many rumors floating around as we do pilots.

About being able to staff ten airplanes, maybe-maybe not. People are scared and jumping ship. We are starting to get short staffed on the Ol mighty Beech. Looks like we may havta hire to fill or take junior people outta the jet to put in the Beech.

Mostly speculation since everyone is so hush hush

Although I am looking forward to CVG!!!!!!

Still no news but the lines are getting better.

Still no news but the lines are getting better.

Not for the Beech FO's, the best line has ten days off. I heard six beech captains were being downgraded to cover everyone who quit. Anyone else hear this?

 

[propsare4boats]

did you check the seniority list when the bids came out? I haven't heard about anything like that. They can't do that, because that would be out of seniority. On the other hand they may be pairing a Captain that is on reserve to fly as an F.O. But they can't down grade outta order. especially since they have so many F.O.'s on the jet they can retrain to fly the Beech.

 

[propsare4boats]

I was look at the ATA smartbrief, there is a story that says if Comair takes a pay freeze that they could be in line for 35 jets......does that have anything to do with Skyway getting planes for Delta or not?

 

[T-prop]

any new news/rumors

Is there any new news or rumors on the "deal"? I am currently in the hiring pool, looking for a way out of San Juan, and Eagle.

Good to see you went back to your old Avatar JoBear! That scene from "The Family Guy" didn't really fit you very well. I'm sure most people were like "who is this?" Don't you have that picture of the smoking skull tatooed on your arm somewhere?

As far as news about the Delta deal there is none that I've heard. March 2nd is the big date that is being thrown around that something should be announced. That would be exactly 2 months in front of the May start up time. Something has to happen right? This can't go on forever can it? What a long strange trip its been.

new date is august. skyway mechanics are doing c checks on the aircraft as we speak. delta does not want the planes, but if they have to keep them the company that is going to fly them is skyway.

it seems that delta is trying to not accept the planes due to the bad conditions they are in, so skyway mx is in myrtle beach to see if delta would have a reason for not accepting trashed aircraft.

 

[P38JLightning]

why would they do that?

metro,

not sure i see the logic to that rumor. why would Delta send Skyway mechanics to judge if the DoJets were acceptable enough to be operated for Delta, by Skyway, when Delta clearly wants a way out of it completely in the first place?

What possible motivation would the Skyway mechs have for not saying the planes were acceptable? Unless the planes were in such bad shape that they were comletely unsafe, which I just don't see as a reasonable possibility.

So if the above rumor is true, SkyWay will 100% get the planes to operate for Delta. Welcome to the whipsaw guys.

 

[metroplex]

I tell you why. because delta is paying skyway to check the aircraft out. even if skyway will not get the deal, they are not loosing anything to do what delta tells them to do, if the finacial aspect is covered.
