Well, since I was thrown into the pool at the very end I decided to upgrade my raft. It now has a canvas to keep me out of the sun and out of the rain, installed Direct TV with the NFL package, and had Tim the Tool Man Taylor install a recliner with a built in refrigerator and toilet.

What is up with that MSP-ROC high speed on the 200?? How ridiculous is that? I feel sorry for those guys.

That's about as much time as DTW-PWM was as a CDO. It's better than the YUL CDO we had on the 900 all last summer. 7 hrs scheduled on the ground - 1 hour lost coming and going= at best 5 hours in the hotel (often less due to delays) And ask the MSP 900 guys how much fun the BIS CDO is.....

Don't forget the tropical place called Bismarck for high speeds like avroman is saying. That is not fun, you're lucky to get 3 hours in the hotel there...

I find it interesting that we are hiring a fair amount of FAs right now. There is a class set with 25 new hires and I have heard that they want to hire 60 additional. This could just be for attrition but 85 seems like a lot.

Well when you pay FA's 15,000 a year, I would guess it's all attrition.
