Re: Skydive recommends

Just book 737-Max flights, request the aisle with the plug, and wait.

Seriously though, good on you for not giving that wretched outfit the time of day.

Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt

Still down, no real official word from Flair. Rumor on the internets: Internal Memo issued by CEO: Everything is fine, techincal glitch, continue working as per normal.

Cue the "this is fine" dog in a burning house meme.

Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt

Question for all you edjumacated people out there. I'm looking for a good case study on a collapsing/failed airline to read. Preferably one that goes into the nitty gritty of everything leading up to it's ultimate demise. The longer and more detailed the better.

Suggestions?

Re: Jet stream down

As I understand it, NWAL continues to fly, although nobody knows what caused this flight to crash, and thus no one has any assurance that it won't happen on the next flight. Knowledge that may provide information enabling passengers to make what may be life or death choices is being withheld by the...

Re: Jazz Hiring Qualifications

Dozens of CA vacancies in the latest bid award (think dozen x 7). Even hiring close-to-ATPL instructors will not mean that these vacancies can be filled internally. Until Jazz makes a comparable DEC offer to the competition, or a better retention offer to current Jazz pilots, the staffing problems ...

Re: Ready To Strike

I would be concerned that people hired in the last 4-6 years likely haven't been able to save for a 3 month strike, especially living in YYZ or YVR. With the current pay, they will simply hammer themselves into debt with a 3 month strike. You could make the argument of short term pain, long term ga...
