Or does the VD wipe out any seat lock you have had on the aircraft?
Thanks...
AE=Seat Lock
VD=Seat Lock
MD=Freedom
If you go to the ER, you will be there for 2 years unless MD. Coming from the MD88 you will also lose the "character" that Douglas has beat into you. When you lose your "character" you think everything that's not an ER just stinks (except for the 777 which is a bigger and easier ER of course). You'll also find that the 737 sure aint an ER, but you'll have lost the "character" necessary to bid back to the 88. So it is really a Hobson's choice.
Good luck on your escape Shawshank.
