Are ya happy?
Is most of your flying out of LGA?
Where do you go?
Ok, so those are four questions. If I were a smart man, I'd've fallen in love with a career in an industry that isn't always teetering on the edge of collapse.
I'm not a NY guy but I'll throw my 2 cents in on the Maddog...Its a very good airplane. Lots of power, quiet cockpit, FMS and IRU's. Downsides- autothrottles are touchy, smallish cockpit, trips. It has no problem stopping (another bad rap) I know there is a lot of misinformation on this jet but I will tell anyone that its a good jet. If you have a chance to make Capt and its on the Maddog, DO IT!
