Hey guys and gals..
Man..Does it feel a little cold in here or what?Brrrrrr!!
Anyway..For all of you in the pool i want to say hang in there ..Your time is coming soon..I swear...
Heres a little good news/bad news kinda thing so hang with me here..
Per the training dept the manning numbers are being reviewed as we speak..The last time that happened the flood gates opened shortly after the 4thQ numbers were released..
SOMETHING is going to happen after April 18th..Thats when the 1stQ numbers will be released..
The load factor for March was 70.2%..That was better than both Jan and Feb..Every plane i have flown or ridden in the back of has been full..Ive had to use the jump seat on several occasions to get to work..
The new 700 sim will be up and running on June 25th..The second new sim should be up in the first week in Sept..
A captain upgrade class in training had 4 new instructors going thru with the class..We seem to be hiring a ton of instructors..
The May and June classes have been delayed.The next two class dates are April 25th and August 29th..
Note that knowbody has used the word cancled..
Everyone ive talked with has said that this is normal for the company when it looks like the first quarter numbers are going to be close..Things really pick up after the results are released and they did just that after the 4thQ last year..
Now ...after saying all that im going to add that everywhere i look or go in the system there are major improvements being started or are in progress..
In DAL they are making room for growth as we speak in several areas..
Ive been told that we have picked up ALL the planes from the desert and are going to take somewhere around 22 for the year..
So..Again im going to crawl way out on this here thin,shaking,limb all by myself and say to you all that it will be sooner than they say and much sooner than you think..
And besides..Ive got a bet with a good friend in the pool that he will be in class before the end of May..
And with a case of Negro Modelo hanging in the balance of this here bet there is no way im gonna lose..
Be well yall..
