I spoke with a Mesaba Saab captain this morning and he was telling me of all kinds of rumors going on right now. Hopefully there will be some announcements to validate them.
Currently on the rumor mill from what I've heard today because its saturday and I'm stuck in TRI. Good FO and good mexican food though:While I also think its funny how many rumors are out there as to the cause of the new movement, you have to admit that the sudden change in numbers, opening up applications for check airmen and applications for FA OE instructors all at the same time is enough to make you wonder.
Unless something official comes out all we have to go by is if the hiring continues, or if it drops off again i guess.
Either way I like it!
Yeah, don't listen to that guy. He's a tool. :laff:I spoke with a Mesaba Saab captain this morning and he was telling me of all kinds of rumors going on right now. Hopefully there will be some announcements to validate them.

Big announcement on Wednesday. Hint: Ewoks are coming.

OUCH!Ewoks...hmm cheap labor? That is actually believable. They could probably all go man the ops radio too because good English speaking skills definitely isn't a prerequisite.

Because all the current LCA have been held off the jet long enough so they need replacements now that they are on the 900. Look at Steve Harris in DTW on the last award. They bypassed him until Jan becuase their aren't many(LCA's) left. It takes a while to replenish the LCA's due to the requirements. We have 97 aircraft operating. and increase in 35 people is not much when you look at it as a whole. Take a look at the schedules. They are at the equilibrium point right now.

There hasn't been any more hiring. It was people from a pool. There are going to be new people added to the list.

Edit:
Oh and on top of the others...I noticed we are now hiring for sim instructors and ground instructors too......

Two more to drop in the bucket: (I know I know its out of control)
-15 -900's from Mesa given to us and we start flying them out of... wait for it... wait for it... atlanta. *sigh*
-Big announcement Tuesday says the DTW crew room. (We always get it last in memphis)
I still say ewok invasion

NWA Airlink out of ATL?
No padawan, NWA and Delta merged (or are anyway). This silly rumor is saying that were gonna put on Delta colors.
I stress these are all SILLY rumors. No one knows ####.
Oh, God I completely agree. Sounds like a buncha horse doo-doo to me.Call me a practicalist (if that's even a word), but I wouldn't look for Delta colors until the merger is actually approved by the DoJ unless you guys get a contract from Delta (which actually wouldn't be that unheard of).
Of course I wouldn't put it past any management group to say to us "hey you know that big raise your all getting on the 1st of dec? Yeah we didn't get 150 new jets because of that. It's all your fault." hehehehehe
