Skyway..

i hear "the tim" is initiating a hostile bid to take over NWA too.

 

[Beechman]

I thought SYX was going to take over all the 717 flying as we phase out the 1900s and 328s because ME was converting to an all 737 fleet. Apparently their expansion efforts to KC is the driving force behind all this? However...I could be wrong. I blame loopy not-in-the-know FOs http://forums.flightinfo.com/images/icons/icon26.gif

i thought Uncle Timmy was getting 757's becuase Boeing wanted to shut down the 717 line in Long Beach?

 

[fastbird]

The 757's are part of an all Boeing fleet plan for the company. It works hand in hand with the hostile take over of NWA and co-opting all the best routes. Other routes and excess gates at major airports will be up for auction. All the NWA and Pinnicle iron will get sold to make new beer cans or returned to lease holders. The SYX 328 and 1900's will be the first to go as those crews transition to 717's.

SYX = 717's
YX = 757's or possibly 737-900's
YX (Pacific Rim) 787's

I also heard there will be a single seniority list and all the SYX pilots get stapled on to the bottom.

that is awesome, Midwest stock is climbing by leaps and bounds with that news

 

[fastbird]

You saw that jump in late trading too! The over nights and tomorrow should just be a sky rocket.

 

[Beechman]

You guys make me laugh! I was trying to be funny but what you did with it is pure genius.

 

[Dumbluck]

thank you!!! I'll be here all night.

Fastbird WHEN the stock hits $20.00, sell, sell,sell
I just took out a second morgage and put it all into midwest and nwa

 

[fastbird]

I've got my stop point a little lower...$20 might a unattainable...but it should hit $16 by 1 Dec.

Yah, I just cashed out my other investments to buy more MEH and NWA. This is going to be good.

 

[fastbird]

It's going up....the fuse is lit!

 

[Dumbluck]

OK, but don't blame me when you lose millions.

 

[fastbird]

You know how to make a small fortune in the airline business?




Start with a large one!

 

[sbn340mech]

Last I heard they are very interested in ACA's 328's. Start saying bye-bye to the 1900's. 801 leaves Monday. Thought I would shed a tear but none to be found. And the 145 rumor is still alive. I don't think Midwest would be happy about the 190's as they would compete with the 717's. Is NWA any closer to Ch 7?

Hiring jackidiot

Does anyone know what the deal is with skyway currently? IE how are they doing. Whats life like there. Etc. I havent seen much info posted about them since the whole Skyway/delta thing.

Thanks

the idiot doing the interviews thinks he is hiring for FEDex. Without the pay or equipment. They want to pay nothing and expect a newby to know it all. Know your stuff, the interview is pretty stupid. Good luck. and go Skyway!!!

The guy who does the interviews has been known to peruse Flightinfo from time to time. Just a heads-up.

last I heard Skyway was doing panel interviews.
also, the technical part was a approach plate, Jeppeson. knowlege worthy of Fedex or a inst. rating

 

[fastbird]

Things haven't changed since I was hired...the toughest stuff they tossed out there is the Jepp. So, there isn't any excuse for not knowing the "technical stuff."

 

[GOULET!]

If you think Skyway's interview is difficult you are in the wrong industry my friend. Skyway was the easiest interview by far out of any place I interviewed at. That "idiot" who did your interview too probably made you look like the idiot based on your performance which is why Im willing to wager that you were rejected and thats better for all of us at Skyway. So thank you to my "idiot" boss.

On the other topic, the rumors have been running rampant recently. Ive heard anywhere from 2-15 airplanes which will replace the Beech fleet, could be as soon as late next year. I personally think it would be at least 2007 by the time they would all be phased out. People are still slowly being picked up by Midwest, Allegant, and USA 3000.

Great time to be at Skyway. Senority has been skyrocketing on the bottom half of the list. And now the Beech FO's schedule are better than the Jet FO's. I never thought I would see the day. My best to all of those who bailed in the last months. Wish you were all still here!!!

GOULET!

 

[RichardRambone]

Whats your current upgrade time there?

 

[Dumbluck]

And now the Beech FO's schedule are better than the Jet FO's.

I don't believe it!!!
It can't be, did they make the Jet lines worse? I mean its against nature to make the beech lines better than the jet lines, My head is spinning, i need to sit down, wait i am sitting, i need to stand up, during four + years that never happened.
Seriously, good for all I'm glad things are looking up
