Questions for the NYC guys from an other-base Mad-dogger
The generally accepted definition of “immediately available” for NYC reserve guys is 3 hours, correct? And my understanding is that is from your CLOSEST co-terminal, not all 3 airports? Not really wanting NYC M88, but with my position on the big list (read: I can touch the bottom with my toesies) I may have very little say in the matter.
I will echo the sentiments of the other MD drivers - it’s a generally good airplane that gets a bad rap. Its certainly quirky - but once you learn its quirks, it’s a pretty good plane.
