However, the first southie girls I flew with (SLC) only asked that I put mine in first so she could have access to hers. Then, of course, are the GE engines........oh wait, those are easier to start, never mind.

90% plus is a 757. It flys just like a -300, has that same "heavy feel" except it doesn't float on landing. IE, you have to keep the power on just like you do on a 9-50 vs a -30.

As I've said before, NUMEROUS TIMES, I'm glad the company cared enough to give us bounces and TOE to make sure we had the different crossing procedures down (which were 6 of one, half dozen of the other type changes).

I guess I'll agree with T, as you can't change his mind on anything anyway and just say FINE we should have rebid MSP and DTW. But I don't think much would have changed because everyone knows those places $uck. One of the funniest guys in NRT now is an exATL guy who commutes out of DFW. He was real tired of beating his head against the DFW>ATL wall and just came up to MSP because, "I wanted to go where I figured NO one else was going".

Can we put this to rest, what a dumb discussion........see T, I agree with you again.

Now that I know what I was missing, I'm glad I missed it.

Good luck to everyone in staying where you want to stay and going to where you want to go.
