Hey folks,
I am back to reading the list after a summer of not being home much.
With vacations I was gone from home of my own accord for almost one month
spread over June and July. Almost all of my travel was by (*gasp*) car. My
wife and I drove over 6,000 miles since school ended in late May.
There have been a few developments for my job and the impact is just
starting to appear. Among those is the first of fourteen ERJ-145s that will
be operated as American Connection in STL, however they will be flown with
our new AX code so that they do not fall under the APA/AMR/EGL/ALPA scope
clause limitations. So far 140 of the approx 207 furloughs have been
recalled and are flying or in training now. Our entire operation moved into
a portion of the former TWA Charles A. Lindbergh Training Center. With AAs
announcement about downsizing further, I don't know what will happen.
All I can say is the seat belt sign is on, the galley items are stowed
and hang on for the ride!
