It looks like every step they make just prepares them more and more for a merger...

Mr. Pope said he was confident the 430 employees at the center and the 5,800 workers connected with the flight kitchens would find jobs with the new owners.

Sure they will at half their original wages (i.e. the new U.S./Mexican wages)

I think they'd be better off if they just hired a new CFO who specializes in selling assets, and just starting off small by selling the flight kitchens to someone like Dial who owns Dobbs. Then they could threaten to keep breaking the company up and then maybe the employees would give them sort of concession to stave it off, perhaps in exchange for a virtually useless equity stake.

 

[ual321]

Makes one wonder why the company removed all logo signs off the training center building about two weeks ago... Can anybody update if the signs are back on?

 

[Abernathy]

Someone told me TWA is furloughing. Can anyone verify?

 

[Dude]

When are they retiring the stretch 8's?

 

[Sig]

Ha!

I don't know what the fuss is all about, I just got hired by Braniff! See ya at age 60, losers!

 

[dispatchguy]

Germans?

 

[Spooky 2]

I believe that bothe Boeing/Alteon and CAE have looked at this facility within the last 120 days. Clueless as what will happen next..if anything.

 

[HighSpeedClimb]

Is Pan Am hiring yet?

 

[Sig]

Who cares? I, for one, am taking my entire family on a cruise. I saved a bunch of money by switching to Steerage Class, but hey? When's the next time you can set sail on the newly christened "Titanic" on her maiden voyage? To be safe, I'm carrying all documents of notable importance- especially my priceless heirlooms and every single breathing scion of my family tree- just to have them on the safest device ever built by mankind.

Suckers.

 

[SoCentralRain]

Germans?

Forget it. He's rolling...

I hear it's unsinkable. Technology is amazing.

Ain't it just?

My dad- the President of the United States- realized I was bored as hell, loafing around the house. WE have exclusive seats at Ford's Theater to take in a quick show.


What could go wrong?

Philistines! See ya from the balcony!

 

[Jonny Sacko]

Which brings up the greatest movie of all time.

And honey, remember my theory of the other guy in the book depository during JFK's assassination, I've got the proof right here. It's big, and goes all the way up to the White House. And remember the cure for cancer I've been working on also. I've got it.

Oh Dead meat, do you want me to hold on to it?

No, what could go wrong in my jet?

 

[Sluggo_63]

I can't wait for the upcoming presidential debate... I heard Dewey is going to wipe the floor up with Truman...

You heard it here first... a landslide victory for Dewey...

 

[glasspilot1]

I heard the Wright brothers just flipped the coin and it landed on edge. They're looking to hire a pilot for the first flight!

 

[Sig]

"So, Chief... there's these positively huge canoes offshore, and strange looking pale men are on board."

"What should we do?"

"I dunno. Howzbout inviting them over for a huge dinner? What could go wrong?"

 

[pilotguy733]

I have this great land in Florida for sale...

I heard the Wright brothers just flipped the coin and it landed on edge. They're looking to hire a pilot for the first flight!

And the pilot was wearing a USAPA lanyard

 

[michael707767]

And the pilot was wearing a USAPA lanyard

the USAPA pilot tried to steal the first flight, claiming he was hired years before at a glider shop in Russia, so his DOH trumped the Wright Brothers position as numbers one and two.

 

[Jonny Sacko]

Speaking of USAPA, what happened to that pilot that got fired for a cockpit misfire?? Did they get his job back or not??

No worries...ALPA is right there to help them!
