Which Airlines would you apply to?

[Stinkbug]

All the fractionals fly 135 (NJ is the only one using 91K for pax legs, but still does many 135 flights).

Actually most of Citationshares' flights are 91k. Agree with everything else you said.

The only thing that airline employees have going for them this time is that the bankruptcy laws have changed. Next time it will not be as easy to binge and purge everything. The will have to answer a lot more questions, especially to the creditors.
We as employees do not have that much to give anymore. The creditors will have more protection. Ergo there is no real cost savings by going in to court protection. It does not mean that they will not try, it just means that it will be more difficult.

Then why are you spending your time in airline threads?

I would fly boxes OR people to get away from NJA flying . . . . but I'm not hanging out in the "fracs" section jonesing to tell everyone about it.

Am I not allowed?

I like to browse up on the "lingo" and the "Who's doing who this week" before starting a tour.

Nothing like the 411.

Plus, I don't watch any soaps... I don't have to when I come here! :nuts:

Airline is in my blood... I have a past there so I am interested in the play-by-play but I've truly had my fill of 121 fun.

Come on over to the Frax section. We don't bite. It's remarkably identical to this section only we fight management over there, not each other. :beer:

Me too. Except I realized the other day that I miss bidding. I know. Sounds crazy. But I miss the PBS -- it was a challenge! I liked trying to construct a series of commands to "beat" the computer. I was junior just about everywhere I worked so I knew I was going to have to work weekends. But if I bid a 4-day trip starting on a Wednesday, and then asked for an early return on day 4, I would almost always get a trip that got home at 8 or 9am on Saturday. I'd be off Sunday and POOF...junior blockholder gets the weekends off!

At USAir I enjoyed playing the AIL. I could almost always pick up a trip worth more time than the one I had. I enjoyed bidding trips that touched vacation or training and end up getting 14+ days off some months.

Oh sure, I love having a schedule like I do now. Home almost every night, 2-3 weekends off a month, etc... but where's the CHALLENGE?!

How does Airtran or Jetblue fit into the equation?

I think he/she has 135 background? I believe 500pic part 121 (or military) is still required at AT.

1)FedEx
2)UPS
3)SWA
4)ALK
5)CAL
6)DAL

ditto!! With one caveot (sp), We had a DAL Captain on the jumpseat who said there were very few Captains left there over 52. This could be an issue unless they grow a lot, especially if the 65 goes through.
