Hey, what do you know. You CAN link to it. At least at the end of the line is a rumor of a 717.

Yeah, if you are pretty senior and can get the good trips.

Surpluses-

ATL777A- 15
ATL777B-15



Should cause some good cascading in the right direction overall. Not sure how the 777 surplus will hit ATL though.

No, they are keeping is small to minimize the training footprint so they can get those sims moved. Next one should be the 365 and the closure of the DC-9. Read, a lot bigger, and they will publish it once the summer 2012 block hrs are known, and probably the slot swap decision.

I think we are underpaid. I know we will be paid well and our pay will increase because:

1) We are worth it.
2) The DAL pilots are fed up.

I was thinking. Does a SWA pilot really make more? or does a SWA pilot just fly a lot more in a day? I mean if I were to fly 90 hours a month efficiently then would my pay equate theirs?

**I never ever want to fly above 75 hours, ok maybe at most 80 . The trick is to get paid more and work less.

Just to add, it sounds like the 320 sims will be moving south first. Have to keep things spooled down as much as possible to facilitate the training center consolidation.

I also got tagged for jury duty in September. You need to call the CPSC and tell them. They will give you a fax number to fax your jury summons (with dates) to. It popped up on my line about 2 hours after I faxed it.

While two of the A320 sims are scheduled to make the move early next year, that really doesn't have any impact to the throughput. We will be contracting sim time during the transition.
