Management pilots will ferry the aircraft to be used and it will spend the summer there. The current debate centers on what kind of international training, if any, the baby bus pilots will receive prior to their flying. I don't know anything about losing the contract to American.

. However, Asia flying is pretty straightforward. European countries seem to like tweeking the ICAO rules just enough to get you in trouble if you don't study up on them.

Honestly, how do American and US Airways view themselves after they have seen four major airlines become two and a lot bigger than them. I know the execs have said there needs to be more consolidation, how much more will we see? Is this just the tip so we see only 4 or 5 airlines in the US (Delta, United, American, SWA)?

Isn't the term "Management Pilot" a oxymoron.

Well not sure who is whizzing in my cheerios, but I am not liking what I see. The fact that the things I discuss are happening and they are not good is not a reason not to try and discuss them or shed some light on them.
As far as Europe it was supposed to be NBA and U2 charters -old news. Hope AA did not get this. We shall see.

Nope, no training for Asia flying except for a BIG RED binder (later replaced with a CD) and a memo about "don't *%ck up".
But, the good news is, most of the Capts who flew out there had been Whale or DC-10 FOs and knew the theater. However, doing the crazy taxi route out to the "B" (east) runway was new to all of us.
