USAirways 190's

[JAB31]

What are the plans for the remaining 15 190's ? Are they still planning on operating them or selling them? Any more furloughs planned ?

 

[Flyby1206]

I have no clue, but a fleet of 15 airframes cant be very economical (for narrowbodies). Long-term plans to sell the remaining 15?

 

[johnsonrod]

I am sure Bradford at Republic is salivating just thinking about those airframes...

 

[captfred]

So far the company is saying we keep the remaining 15-we'll see.

sell em to republic, and watch republic sell em in a few years when they declare BK

I recall LCC agreeing to keeping the rest of them as part of the LGA-DCA slot swap deal.

 

[Metro752]

Sell for Big Buses.

Jesus Christ, can I just have my pissy 43K/year (yes that was my GROSS income in 2009, about 700 hours flown on reserve) FO job? Or does someone have to take this one as well. When the F#$K is it gonna end?

LL- Fear is now a vital part of the modern management equation, along with uncertianty about the future. No one is allowed to just relax and enjoy their job anymore.

Consider it part of the new corporate facism movement.

Corporate fascism? Wait a minute here. Forgive me if I am painting with too broad of a brush, but aren't pilots 90%+ right wing? Don't you RW'ers prefer the free market? Management is doing whatever it can (usually legally) to earn a profit. Yes, sometimes that doesn't bode well for labor. Either you champion the free market and accept it rewards and drawbacks, or you don't. You can't have it both ways.

My,my,my we've become quite the expert ! This is you,circa 2006:

"I'm a very low time pilot, and do not even have 500/100PIC Multi, but would it be bad to submit an application/create a profile, just to have your name on file at various companies?

Is it frowned upon, would it create useless clutter?"

So you got on with USA Jet-I'm so proud ! Not many lav dumpers make it to that level.Your name IS useless clutter.Why the hatred of RAH ? Because you didn't get hired ,even with your massive creds ? Bwahahaha !

RAH sucks. Every pilot should hate this pilot group. Give the Midwest pilots their jobs and their DOH and maybe you can gain some respect. I am sick of looking at 20 year olds walking around the terminals thinking they deserve their capt. seat that came at the expense of many seasoned pilots. RAH pilots are worse then sc@bs. They are scum.

You mean the job that belongs to one of the 150 Out of seniority furloughed AWA pilots? Keep the seat warm. Getting close now!

Spoken just like a RAH pilot. Might as well get use to it, because come April AWA pilot group will be part of the Bedford congregation. Congrats Westies on getting rid of the Easties. Have fun merging with the RAH pilots. Relative seniority will be great. Do not forget, your furloughed West pilots will be stapled behind all RAH. West pilots do not bring any jobs to the Bedford congregation and are lucky to get a staple. Thats a windfall for those West furloughed pilots.
