Note the KC-135 was the original 717 and the is why the 717's AirTran fly are the
717-200
Besides I will be a lowly FO at SWA not a co-captain like I was at AirTran
. I am sure the captain will be happy to tell me what to do
I always told captains I was a proud FO but for $5 / hour I would be happy to be their co-captain!!!
Hey you all fly safe
See you all on the other side of the partition
B-
Lmao. "Co-captain". I always hated that and used to cringe when the cptn used it in his Welcome Aboard PA. Like it was an insult or something to be called First Officer
Have fun down there in Dallas. Lots of good nudie bars and some actually have decent food! Oh, and the deck parties have some good scenery as well, but I'm not talking about the airplanes that are landing.
