RT,

Nice ride, I can't decide R1200RT or K1200GT? I saw two guys riding RTs last fall on the West coast, same color as your two? They were both airline pilots.

Do I understand correctly that there will only be 3 more classes this year? What interview dates do you all think this will cover?

Irish, nope, not the guy I thought.

Best of luck!

GT if it's the new one. It wasn't out when I got the RT (my second) I love the RT but the new GT is close enough and tons more power. I was on the west coast last year for two weeks in September. I actually bought the 1200rt on the road in Santa Cruz (traded in my 02). But if the new GT had been sitting there I'd be on it now. Want a 1200RT in great shape? :eek:

in osaka and obviousy bored...on the computer and all...must be that old FO!

NRT headed to HKG in 2hours. Man it's 0430 here I've done all I can do. Enjoy the Bus and the domestic grind.
Just trying to figure out when my buddy will get a call to class. He turned down CAL in May to sit in the pool at FedEx and he's driving me crazy about it. I told him to go to CAL and walk when FedEx called but he did it his way and the wait is killing him.

it's jays fault..u gave him good advice...watch out for those n. korean nukes on the way back...i will be sittin out back with a cohiba while u r deadheading on some scary chinese airline..good luck!

Purple should put him right into class based on his ethics. You're saying he didn't want to dis CAL because his heart is really for purple and he didn't just take the training and run?

Tell your buddy drinks are on me. Glad to hear that there are still great guys in this industry. Someone is damn lucky to have a job at CAL because your buddy did the right thing.

Now, how the hell do we get him to the front of the line for class.

Updated Information
 

I updated the information below based on some confirmation I received on how far the calls went out last time. Hope this helps.

OK, sorry to keep putting out the long string but I think this is as good as it gets with regards to current information. Bottom line is that calls went out for the 30 Oct class through the 20/21 Mar interview group. I know there has not been a 20/21 Mar group on here so far but the confusion arose over cjj's report of a 19/20 Mar group and my reservist telling me that was his date. Turns out he prepped on 19 and interviewed 20/21. Talking to him, he said there were 9 in his interview group with 3 being pulled for the widebody leaving 6 in the pool. All of them got calls last week. Since no one has chimed in with 19/20 Mar info and FEDEX has been pulling FIFO for 727 training....the assumption has to be that all of the suspected 9 were called. This helps to explain why the list didn't appear to move much with the last set of calls. Based on this data, it looks like the 29/30 Mar and early April groups can move to the shallow end of the pool and some of us can quit treading water and stand up now. I've updated the numbers below. Thanks to cjj for the info and clearing up some of the mystery!! Purple reflects people who have been called and red is new information.
