SJU lays off 400

[TIME FOR CHANGE]

That will flip this airline into turmoil if they allow that across the system. It will be months before the airline itself knows who is working where!

They should not allow bumping, just first shot at any posted openings, possibly with something like 'veteran's points' depending on years of service.

one of the dumbest posts I have ever read

Seniority
look it up
:down:
:huh:

The 18 winter flts. to/from SJU consist of the following

BOS-1
BDL-1
JFK--3
PHL-1
TPA-1
MIA-7
ORD-1
DFW-1
CCS-1
------------
........18


Oddity's

BDL/TPA keep service, while MCO loses ALL SJU(MCO/SJU was a BIG market per the PR population)

Every trip is a 757 (Cargo... ???)

Only Kennedy has all A-300's (3)

Even with some A-300's going to Mohave, I still cant locate a LOT of them in the Jan/09 schedule



MAH4546 ??????????

MCO has Spirit, AirTran, and JetBlue competing. Yield sucks.

Hartford has the third largest Caribbean national population in the United States after Miami/Lauderdale and New York; Tampa has the fourth largest. Plus, AA is the only game in town.

Only three A300s are expected to leave. There are currently 34 A300s, but the schedule only requires 27. Even when removing 3 A300s, AA can technically run the entire current A300 schedule unchanged. Of course, though, the A300s have reliability problem.

The schedule cuts are nowhere near finalized, though. Plenty of changes coming the next 2-3 weeks.

I avoid seniority issues. I have found that the greater the seniority, the bigger the ass-hole. Its the bitterness that comes with age after too many years with the same company.

And you're about to prove me right . . . .

Something a typical management puke would say since SENIORITY means nothing in management

......and.....it's a home run!

I think your posts would not pass any empirical test. Just your biased opinion.

.. and followed by something a typical union puke would say.

Seniority does mean something in management. It's just not the only thing.

MAH4546,

Mark,

I went thru the schedule(I picked at random)..of 1/16/09(friday), and came up with the following cities with A-300 service.

JFK/SDQ/PAP/CCS/BOG/PTY/LIM/ only,........and NO where near "27" of the old work horses.

Obviously, I'm missing a lot.

???

Thanx

 

[FWAAA]

I haven't looked at the schedule completely, but what about MCO, MIA and SJU? Quite a few of the current flights revolve around those three cities.

The final schedules have not been loaded, but here is the full (I believe full, I might have missed something) A300 schedules for 17DEC08 as of now:

Miami:

Bogotá 2x
Guayaquil 1x
Guatemala City 1x
JFK 3x
Lima 2x
Managua 1x
Panama City 1x
Punta Cana 1x
Port Au Prince 2x
San Jose 3x
Santo Domingo 2x


JFK:

Miami 3x
Port Au Prince 2x
San Juan 3x
Santiago 1x


I have a suspicion they might put more A300s on Central America flights to counter Spirit.

 

[eolesen]

Perhaps. Planning has been known to put one eqpt type in the advance schedule to gauge demand, and then upgauge or downgauge prior to crew bids going out. A lot can happen in the next six months.

But putting widebodies on to counter Spirit? Let them haul the backpackers and tourists. Keeping 757's will allow AA more ability to get a decent revenue mix, and that's far more important than market share.

Rumor running around MCO today (lots of the Fleet workers are native Boriqua) was that AA is in negotiations w/ the PR government for incentives and lower landing fees etc to retain flights..... can anyone confirm this?

Per the OAG SSIM tape for 5/31, you've got it mostly right.

You're missing MIA-CCS 2x, and it looks like JFK-PAP goes down to 1x on 9/3...

Discontinues for ORD-HNL and ORD-EZE are on the tape, and SJU's down to 18 departures in September, so it's showing all the stuff that's been announced to date [for AA -- the Eagle changes still haven't been sent yet...].

I haven't heard anything, but I doubt it will work.

However, I think SJU will be built back up after the current weak state of the airline industry turns around in a few years.

SJU operations have traditionally been decent performers (not lately, though).
