I was on a flight recently sitting next to our mechanic. He said that as soon as this summer is over the retirements of 88/90's will increase well above the originally planed (this Spring) figures.
He didn't have any details, just more than planned.
Anyone heard anything similar?

We did...not only are they closing MSP, but they’re displacing 50 crews from ATL.

No, he sounded like if was fresher decision than that. Like end of last week.
The 03Jul AE is along the lines of Spring LCA meetings intel.
Even faster retirements is what I gathered.

15 MD90's and 24 MD88's are being parked in 2018.
At least what was discussed in March 2018 LCA mtg by RW.

That's is the old plan

Might be a revised one in the works.

No milestone. They hire from all over the time and experience spectrum. Can’t hurt to do the rec and try. If you don’t hear anything within a month or so of the internal rec, they say you won’t be able to have your app reviewed for 12 months.

If they did that they would be costing themselves money with the current furlough protections so its highly unlikely. Money rules!

LOL yeah I'd love to see them attempt to prop up their precious large RJ segment while bumping and flushing then almost immediately refilling the entire Compass infrastructure in an attempt to try to stick it to the pilots.
