(yes, I misspelled that on purpose. It's a rumot at JC, right?)
Was on the last ATA flight out of MDW to DFW last night (about 15-20 pax total) and was chatting with the FA. She told me that ATA just bought 7 DC-10s that they're going to be using for a lot of troop ferrying, and with other expansion they're going to be calling some pilots back in January. She said the DC-10s would need at least 70 pilots alone. Not sure what that means in terms of upgrades, staffing, etc, but I thought I'd pass it along.
She also told me that like SWA, their 737 pilots had to have a type rating coming in. Surprised me that she knew that, but maybe she was just guessing. I dunno.
There you go. You now know what I was told.
