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

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
 
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."
 
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!

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

It'll probably end up being 6-7 airplanes and presumably these new planes would be on property by mid-2006. It's been mentioned management wants to start staffing up, for the planes, right after the holidays. While this is a good turn of events, I'll believe it when the new planes are on the ramp. As for the Beeches, the last lease expires 2008. I wouldn't be surprised if the EAS flights are dropped when the contracts expire.

No more ironwood???????
 
If you are a victim of SJS and overly optimistic...think ERJ 145's.

If you are a realist...think former ACA FRJ's.

So, what's the upgrade time again...I too lazy to follow the link to the previous thread.
 
There are too many variables right now to even remotely offer an approximate upgrade time.

Speculatively speaking, anyone hired today might expect upgrade to 1900 CA in three years. Granted, that's based on current fleet numbers of 10 FRJ's and nine 1900's. Supposedly, the 1900's are expected to be removed from service by 2008. There is talk of 6-7 more FRJ's coming on property sometime in 2006 but that's not a definite. We can endlessly speculate on the number of FRJ's that might be purchased to replace the 1900's.

That's the crapshoot about upgrade times - one day they're lightning fast, the next glacially slow.

Peace

300? Options for 150? 12 jets, 12 props? 12 props and some EMB parts?


I would imagine what ever happens we will not grow by much, if any at all. We're not looking to take over the world.

On the lighter side, is this turning into the next Island Air type thread?
 
By the time we get the 145's, they'll be obselete. But then again we have a track record of operating with defunct equipment.
