Just hoping they don’t do more displacements…my schedule sucks about as bad as it can get without doing a forced commute. Hoping for good news…at some point soon.
added benefit to the Comac is the rapid seniority progression when the old farts stroke out after they're told they have to fly a Chinese built airliner. ;-)
