Bummer. I thought Mayfly was on to something. I also thought that I heard Margie mention something about having just a multi-IFR comm and it being OK. Next time I run into Chris I will ask him just to make sure. That requirement certainly isn't in the published mins, and I don't see why your other time would not more than make up for the lack of written passes.

Supposedly, the hiring will taper off for now and you'll be in good steed for the next bunch at the end of '08. . . Would be nice to see you on board now of course. Frankly speaking, I don't know how they are going to crew the expansion come Oct/Nov. The 744 is currently understaffed with P getting few day's off between 10-12 day TOD's. Were averageing over 90 a month on the 777, and that's after we gave the LAX-LHR leg back to the 744, so come YVR, extra PVG's and extra HKG's in our spring. . . I really wonder.

At any rate, looking forward to seeing you down these parts again. Let us know when eh.
