So far that has not happened. 103 is still using flyers. With that being said, I still do not see the logic in this even swap. To me its a waste of time and money. With all due respect, its only my opinion. For whatever reason nearly every night-owl route has a at least 1 or 2 new flyers available running on them from garages that have Novas, 74th usually has two on Ashland and Western every now and then, and the N5 normally has one every blue moon. So the real question remains as to which drivers out of kedzie have the most experience to operate the #7900's because I would only assume training was done for operators that have never trained or driven them at all before because most of the time new PTBO's would get night-owl runs and if the new picks haven't changed much as far as seniority goes you wouldn't want a new driver operating a nova just yet without the proper training. I remember during training at 77th the instruction department did there best to train everyone on the New Flyers because of CDL testing but they did give us a few hours every other day on the novas to get use to them though. I think by maybe mid January you'll see #7900's on the N60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordguy Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 It looks as if NP picked up at least four units this week: 1379 & 1380 from 77th (1379 is operating on the 97 as I type), and 1381 & 1382 from FG (I spotted 1382 on the 36 the other day). Because the numbers are clustered, I'm assuming they're not loaners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
