Tanker Clown,
Dude aren't you a little short to reach the rudder pedals? Do you carry blocks around in your flight kit to strap on your shoes?

I wouldn't use my picture as my avitar if I looked like you!

 

[Tanker Clown]

Did I touch a nerve? You guys know I'm right about OAK reserve for pretty much a year.

And your point is...

If this job offers an extended time on reserve in OAK as the price of entry, well, there are folks willing to 'pay to play'.

In briefer words; "It is what it is." Take it or shop elsewhere.

LAS a factor

Gents,

Take a look at the April, May, June vacancy.

It looks like 2 more originators in LAS each month and a drawdown in OAK (and other places).

I wonder at what point the company starts sending hard line FO's to LAS and helps to minimize the displacements.

Thoughts?

All this coming company knowledge from a tanker pilot with no ties to this company or what life is here? Tell you what pumkin, there's a whole Military thread for you boom suckers to enjoy.

Come on you can tell me, you wear your flight suit to church don't ya?

(no offense Perfct10)

 

[hyeflyin]

Hey guys, can anyone post some LAS pairings of what a good 3 day trip looks like versus a crappy one. Also how many are in LAS now and how many are they projecting to have down the road. Thanks.

 

[Oneshot]

[WNC Flyer]

Come on you can tell me, you wear your flight suit to church don't ya?

Who doesn't?!? I've got a full body tattoo of my flight suit, so I'm always wearing it.

 

[Jimmy C. Corn]

Speaking of body tattoo...I think this picture will help us recover from that image...

 

[Tanker Clown]

Hey guys, can anyone post some LAS pairings of what a good 3 day trip looks like versus a crappy one. Also how many are in LAS now and how many are they projecting to have down the road. Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about it. You won't be in Vegas 'till 2009. And then it will be on reserve.

 

[69merc]

I did not find out where in the class I stand, sorry I didn't think fast enough to ask!

 

[BlueandWhite]

Doesn't really matter once you get in. Everyone gets reshuffled by age once class starts.

 

[THEPRFCT10]

Doesn't really matter once you get in. Everyone gets reshuffled by age once class starts.

fwiw: when I spoke with them earlier this week, I asked them where I was in class "age-wise" and they said I was pretty much lower-middle (I am 32).

 

[flybigsky]

My question was really not stated well...I was just wondering where 69merc fell in filling the class for 4/23.....since his pool date was 6/6. I was wondering how many more of us may be getting the towel to dry off.

 

[Tejas-Jet]

Geez...we're gonna have almost 3 NH classes and one Capt upgrade class in the training building at the same time....

It'll be just like old times...bumping into each other in the hallways...fighting over the -300 CPT (POS) to practice flows....hanging out at "Glo's Landing" to tell "there I was" stories....

 

[TXDanno]

Speaking of body tattoo...I think this picture will help us recover from that image...

Thank you.

Thank you.

Have I mentioned thank you?

 

[crj410]

Are all the calls out for APR 23 class date, anyone else get a call

 

[LeonPhelps]

Geez...we're gonna have almost 3 NH classes and one Capt upgrade class in the training building at the same time....

It'll be just like old times...bumping into each other in the hallways...fighting over the -300 CPT (POS) to practice flows....hanging out at "Glo's Landing" to tell "there I was" stories....

Don't forget the ping pong table...

 

[obadie]

Talked to Ronna, she said after the three classes in April and one class possibley in May. I would be in the next class that would probabley be in August or September. I interviewed on 6/12.

Air Cargo and Contract Services to continue
ALOHA AIRLINES TO SHUT DOWN PASSENGER OPERATIONS AFTER
MARCH 31, 2008, ENDING A 61-YEAR TRADITION OF SERVICE TO HAWAII
HONOLULU – Aloha Airlines announced today that it will be shutting down its inter-island and
transpacific passenger flight operations. Aloha’s last day of operations will be Monday, March 31,
2008. On that day, Aloha will operate its schedule with the exception of flights from Hawaii to the West
Coast and flights from Orange County to Reno and Sacramento, and Oakland to Las Vegas.
Code-share partner United Airlines and other airlines are prepared to assist and accommodate Aloha’s
passengers who have been inconvenienced. For more information on United’s accommodation
options, contact United at 1-800-UNITED1 or www.united.com.
Passengers who do not wish to be re-accommodated by another airline should contact their travel
agent or credit card company to request a refund.
Effective immediately, Aloha will stop selling tickets for travel beyond March 31, 2008.
The shutdown of Aloha’s passenger operations will affect about 1,900 employees.
Aloha also announced that its air cargo and aviation services units will continue to operate as usual
while the U.S. Bankruptcy Court seeks bids from potential buyers. On March 27, 2008, Saltchuk
Resources, Inc., announced its intention to buy Aloha’s air cargo business.
“This is an incredibly dark day for Hawaii,” said David A. Banmiller, Aloha’s president and chief
executive officer. “Despite the groundswell of support from the community and our elected officials, we
simply ran out of time to find a qualified buyer or secure continued financing for our passenger
business. We had no choice but to take this action.
“We deeply regret the impact this will have on our dedicated employees who have made Aloha one of
the best operating airlines in the country.
“Aloha Airlines was founded in 1946 to give Hawaii’s people a choice in inter-island air transportation.
Unfortunately, unfair competition has succeeded in driving us out of business, bringing to an end a 61-
year-old company with a proud legacy of serving millions of travelers in the true spirit of Aloha.
”We realize that this comes as a devastating disappointment to our frequent flyers and our loyal
business partners who have supported this company for many, many years.”


Maybe the next class will be sooner......
