What's with you guys and taking Eagle's "open water flying" thing? The ATRs and Embraers that currently do the Bahama and Key West flying are no different from the ones doing domestic flying over land. Even the ATRs in SJU don't carry life rafts anymore because they never get far enough from land. And why would AMR want more unprofitable 50 seat flying?
Rumors that come from recurrent classes are the best. Only second to, "a mechanic told me.."
