I am responding to Scambo's response that we need more big jets. My statement was in response to that and the probability and decision process to come to a decision on that.

Our number one investor who holds about 3% of the outstanding shares of stock was very vocal at the last shareholders meeting about capacity discipline. If we see stronger numbers they will add seats.

Hey all,

Quick thread diversion here. Got my first DL CQ coming up. A while back I found a document that had the systems questions that they could ask. Now I cant find it. Anyone know where to look?

Thanks/Gnewt

Go to your Fleet page and then download the LOD. It is the Learning Objectives Document. (LOD)

This is what you are looking for.

Thanks ACL. You beat me to it. Found it right after I posted. Congrats on the wee one.

What does it matter? I know three guys that were scheduled for October and just got it for the beginning of December. Just figure it will be in the next 9 months or so

Don't forget the walk around slides Gnewt, they're in the same place as the LOD.

Of course, that's once Deltanet returns, out again.

I think that seat discipline is very important. I know on the last earnings report conference call there were several folks wondering about it and RA was reassuring them with 2-3% increase.

I want the company to do well long term and if that means slower growth, that's ok!

It can and does. If you cannot wait, give you fleet training planner a call. If they have an idea of when you will go to training they will tell you.

This is not as easy of a process as some think. It is layered with the previous AE's as well as the new hires. With the current training backlog and the new hires they are trying to have it all mesh together.
