Has anyone at NK heard of possibly trying to get some of the 320's that USAir differed, I think 6-8 out of 20'sh.

Or just another rmr.

Well, I posted what I heard last week...well, last week. Do plans change around here quickly? I'm sure of it, although we'll never know the true skinny.

Don't expect to hear anything new on this subject for a bit, for a couple of reasons. Two of the biggest reasons: strike ballot closes on Monday, and the busy flying for this year has already been planned and accounted for.

Well...here's a good one. A F/A good friend was informally offered a OE position to be filled soon. The F/A asked why exactly, and the answer by the inflight VP was NK would be hiring soon due to impending expansion.
We'll see...

From the D.O....

Trying to move up 3 or 4 2011 deliveries to the begining of 2010. We are making money and will have enough to put up the down payments for the aircraft as long as we dont see a major collapse of the US economy. No more recalls planned for now, but plans change so who knows.

Right this moment there is about 800-900h of open flying for May in screwtrack. That is still only May and we are 8 days into it. June is the busiest month with July right behind it.

I figured they have the summer "planned out"... but then again when do they ever plan anything out properly? It is all very reactive at NK. If they will get into a bit of a tight spot I can see them scared s_hitless and call another few... ACY seems real short to me just looking at crew track... I am sure they will do everything to avoid another round due to the coming Fall slowdown. I think they have called back seasonal style just to furlough again before. Anyone who has been around longer could comfirm that. Heck! I would still take it! At least I would get unemployment this time and get a free network engineer cedrtification out of it so I could get a real job. None of this flying monkey business BS.

How was everyone doing on reserve in April? How many hours? That would give us an idea.
