One would think CNN (not just them but others too) could find a newer picture for their articles about us

Anyone heard where on the airport it happened? Article reads like maybe 21L and Juilet.

This is my favorite comment posted after the story. This guy obviously has his stuff together.

I'll bet the reason it slid off the runway was it wasn't able to stop fast enough. The inertia of the plane was greater than the friction from the tire/brakes friction over the length of available runway.

Eventually it'll be on this site I'm sure,

The Aviation Herald

if you haven't been there go, it's interesting especially when you read about incidents with Delta jets.

I agree, the buckets are an improvement. 80 may seem high, if lowered dramatically though would not be much of an improvement from the old system imo. As an 11 year FO who can bid some quality lines, it's nice to be able to bid down to reserve every once in a while to use my seniority.

Second phase of LOA29 will be somewhere starting May... SC assignment will also be weighted by seniority as well. Begin by inverse assignment of SC, it will be spread more evenly among junior pilots until senior pilots get assigned SC. Theoretically, ie junior guys may sit 4 SC and senior guys sit only 2 SC... I don't remember the exact formula, but it's supposed to be less "random". Just passing on what i hear.

If someone's able to go all all month without flying, it absolutely should be the senior guy (if he/she wants it).

On the off chance someone gets to sit all month, it should be the senior guy.
Nicely done Mr. Bacon, couldn't agree more!
