Hey, thx for the info. So what is the "Juneau drill"? And I assume when you say "all" Seattle crews, you mean even the NON-737 guys?
FWIW, I called Delta Pilot Selection earlier today and was told that Andy is out of pocket until next Monday. I know that even to Delta all this is kind of like reading tea leaves but hopefully next week he can pass along some good news with planned pool drainage dates.
