Also, management wanted to let us drop to 30 in FLICA, but never said a peep about dropping below 60 for credit ever during a month... I couldn't give a flying F about dropping below 50 in FLICA, but I do care about going to 30 or 50 CREDIT for the month.
what.
*Well after 30 plus years of flying planes, I have yet to fly into a thunderstorm or have an pax injury from turbulence. I’ve flown some
beater planes with questionable radars too. With the exception of 5 or 6 classics, the RDR4000 is pretty slick on all the new planes. I just use my phone radar app before I leave. A few years ago the big D went through a hail storm near Denver and they had WiFi. The plane was in our hanger being repaired. *
* but yes we do a lot more than other airlines. Begging for Trash bags, ice and the toilet to be serviced are normal. But when I show up
and it’s 100 degrees in the plane and they never hooked up air . APU comes on. I don’t even ask.
