yeah, a few of us are 7/31/06 hires, and we're in the 8/27/07 class. very exciting. oh, and haven't you talked to new captains lately in ord? they're not sitting reserve. lines right away. i hope that's still the case a few months from now, but either way, i personally would rather be a captain on reserve than an fo with a line. that's just my personal situation.
