BTW, you mean this video? I think this is what happened to that 737.

Besides.. since there is no time limit for report, I get there when I get there... No perspiration.. and I'm not taking a $200 cab either...
The ER is going junior again in NYC because of the increase in Domestic trips and the coverage of the three airports. Only bright spot is not having to lug the brain bag anymore.

Thanks H50! For some reason I thought it could only be changed during open enrollment. Still just a FNG here trying to figure stuff out. Thanks man!

What are the feelings on the new LOA 31 that got passed? Will this mean people are going to buddy bid with LCA again?
Seems like a win win for all though kinda stinks for the new hires. Most new hires I know stayed on the same jet for 12 months unless MD'd by things the COMPANY did. I know a couple who went from ER to domestic 76, but that is very little training.

Allegedly, a Line Check guy from the previous airline tried to fry a frozen Turkey on the back of his very big, very nice, house boat. Somehow while on a beer run the thing exploded, effectively torpedo'ng the boat. The insurer was convinced he did it on purpose and tied him up in Court for a while.
He never talked about it, but boy everyone else sure did.

A guy can go to Detroit from Atlanta in about the same time as it takes to get to EWR from NYC.
