I think Bill's right on about paying for a 727 rating in 2006. PFT aside, I don't think that's a good investment. The next step up from CAT isn't gonna care about a 72 type even if they're flying them. Is this the only way CAT hires, ie: you have to buy a type rating from them? Do they hire DECs?

Bill, once upon a time would you have bought a 73 type to get on at WN? I guess I don't have enough moral fiber. I agree it's ridiculous but I think I would have.
