OTZ is the first one on my avoidance bid whenever I (inevitably) get displaced to the 737... holy heck man I just hope you're a really good troll and not like that to your fellow crewmembers.

MEA thanks for the info, makes the crystal ball a little clearer

So has anyone else noticed that the number of red eye trips increased by 118 this month?

I noticed a similar increase last month.

I don’t feel great about that. Does this concern anyone else?

Come on I am just playing... still a little confused, I thought Mea made the numbers pretty easy to understand but whatever. If and when we fly together you will buy no drinks and you will have a great time. In fact if there was a prefer to fly with list, you would put me on it

This is a change from what you previously stated. Any reason to doubt a future acquisition/merger?

You do seem to do a lot of it... There are plenty of us trying to leave don't confuse our bad luck in getting called with exageration..

This will be to lift the sagging order book for the E2, replace the Airbus aircraft, and Benbrad can claim they're still sticking with "Proudly All Boeing."

The rumor is they'll announce QX will fly them, but they real strategy is to just SAY that so we fight hard for scope during contract talks, expending negotiating capital while ignoring other items. Then, once we have scope they'll go mainline.

They'll just poach QX's manual for the majority of the AOM. All they need to do is walk across the street now and open a filing cabinet. Psh, they can even get parts synergy since the QX E-175s have high commonality with the E2.

I thought the Brazilian government was putting the kibosh on Boeing’s planned takeover. Granted, I haven’t heard much about the deal in a while but thought it was all but dead. Not to mention, having Embraer’s on Property flies in the face of their single fleet mantra. Don’t get me wrong, if we added them to the fleet for main line pilots to fly, that’d be great but not at the expense of the Airbus. I wouldn’t put it past Bend n Brand though.

Last I read in a Brazilian newspaper, Bolsonaro's government approved the transaction January 10. Shareholder vote on February 26.

If the deal changed, I haven't read about it yet. May I ask where you saw it was a dead deal?
