I guess then a 25%. 50% if it's my leg. Or, if you are on the jumpseat, I can just chop the power at 50 feet to help you out.

I vote with both hands for a UPS C-17!!! with refueling capability. The way I see it You fly one real long non-stop leg with an AR and your done for a week or two. figure a 15 to 20 hour leg there and back, twice a month!!! also you would have to get an AR override pay bonus since its very dangerous!!
I'll fly the first one!! It would sure make my life much easier!!

Soyathink,

Is there any way You can send me a better quality picture of the UPS C-17, I tried to make it my screensaver but its too small. I went on to the photo site and it only displays the picture in a small format, not full screen
Appreciate any help,
Vito [email protected]

No, but I knew that it has twice as many.
