Tweet Picks:
@ByERussell Schiphol is becoming a hub of SAF supply in Europe. United is the latest to sign an offtake agreement at the airport
@ByERussell “The midwest of Brazil is Azul’s country.” 30% of Azul’s capacity doesn’t touch Brazil’s main triangle compared to single-digits at Gol and LATAM. That’s proved a boon for the airline.
@ByERussell Wow, Republic Airways is seeking an exemption from the 1,500-rule so pilots could begin flying at 750 hours. That’s one definite way to increase the supply of pilots. h/t @aerology_ai.
@ethanklapper Some very bullish summer travel numbers just out from @united. “We anticipate the Memorial Day travel period* will be among our busiest days of 2022 thus far, and expect travel over the Fourth of July period** to be even busier.”
@miller22 What is fascinating in Republic’s request for an exemption from the 1,500-hour rule is that they don’t reference the pilot shortage at all. A different tactic of pursuing diversity and inclusion could put the current congressional blockers on their heels. Whatever works.
