Nothing that a home study CD can't fix...
Flown both as well. Apparently at DAL there's nothing a CD can't fix

New airline coming to MSP, name not yet disclosed | StarTribune.com


Going to be announced on Wednesday. Most likely Spirit or JetBlue since they will be operating out of Terminal 2.
Or Hawaiian......

Could be anyone. MSP is on Emirates short list along with ATL and MIA. They of course would not be doing domestic flying, yet.......

It means that we may have a need for those pilots in the near to mid term.

Might get rid of a lot of those FA's that commute......

That's been going on for 70 years.

Jimmy Doolittle went to China and skipped Colonel. Went from LTC right to Brigadier General.

I know many here are watching all the hiring overseas. I've already told the wife, depending on this next contract, we may be moving in the next few years. I never would have thought I would consider leaving my country for a job elsewhere after being hired at Delta. The US aviation industry is going to be in a world of hurt soon if management, ATA and our government don't get a clue.
