Just look at what is going on with flying out of TPE and going to CAN, you have to go to the PI first! That really helps the cut off time. Like someone already said, I will believe it when I see it painted purple.
At least that's my 2 cents.......
When I got to SFS in 98, the CP said there was going to be an MD base there soon! And, it will be interesting to see how the bidding works out, considering the fiasco created by the HKG FDA for the Bus. All of our ALPA reps that were involved with the FDA LOA (-1) should be proud of their negotiation and selling skills!
