There won't be a single person under 60 flying the 777.......no matter where they base it!

Wrong.

You'll have to have some babysitters to comply with the FARs.

I may be off here, but I thought that it was 12 months (see Menlo) and that was only in the event of merger, acquisition, or purchase. For the 24 I saw mentioned I think that they are going to have to come to us for some help (read: midterm negotiation)

Question: What does the cockpit smell like after two 60+ year olds get done flying it? Depends....

I remember the company asking for 24 months, but I can't believe that in this climate of them trampling the contract at will, we would have given it to them without anything in return. Stay tuned on this one (I hope)

“Second, because of the magnitude of the volume increase, a transition plan of approximately two years will be necessary. This will entail the reactivation of retired brown tail DC-8s, subject to FAA approval, along with a combination of wet leasing, dry leasing, and new aircraft acquisitions. At the end of this transition period, all of the flying would permanently become ours. We will see and review the transition plan to ensure that it complies with existing scope clause parameters,” explained Miller
