Here's another "rumor" to add, or at least add to the existing. I also have heard from various although in a non official capacity that we have been sold to SKYW. However, in some shape or form we are being sold in a shrunken form meaning only 50 aircraft. Unsure how this "sale" was negotiated. We have gotten new pilot wings however with only "comair" on it and no Delta insignia or DCI info on it. Adds to the mix. Drum roll please.......

SKW is hiring numerous FA's as well as the pilots.

But word is that 95% of pilot new hires will be UAL furloughs, bad news for the poolies.

Oh what would this industry do without factless rumors floating around everyday. Funny how others drool to get their hands on more airplanes at the expense of others.

johnso29 works for DAL, I would consider his input impartial. In addition to that SKW is ramping up for something right now so I wouldn't rule out the possibility that DAL decided to just dismantle CA since they can't sell them. It would suck, but that's the lot of a regional pilot.

You're absolutely right. Now lighten up bud. I simply wanted to convey that a large majority of the final systems test is applying limitations.



I'd study flows and have them down pat long before you think of going to FTD. Use the cockpit mockup they have instead of those stupid paper trainers... If you can get access to a car then you'll have a much easier time getting to the hangar to study flows on the weekends. Our class had issues with the van on weekends.
Excellent advice.

Is it the apostrophe that makes a word plural, or is it the s. I forget.

I don't think so, I think they just changed the original dates for the two classes.
