Again, it's not that big a deal to me, given that I have to hide in the cockpit after most of my landings anyway, but I would like to at least have a pair of wings to give to the occasional kid I didn't just scare the poo out of...
Maybe it's just a DTW thing? Maybe it's an oversight? Maybe the powers that be are trying to tell me, "Please, whatever you do, don't talk to the passengers".....
I dunno...
(btw... how are you running out of wings? I thought M88B guys on reserve lived the high life sipping beers and watching football.... Does this mean I'll occasionally have to work????)
If you are soon to be "...on your way to ATL..." maybe they f'd up and sent it to ATL? What month do you convert to ATL? My F/O got one a few days ago, but that was in ATL.
OR...maybe the DTW CPO is selling them on Ebay.
