They did paint the cheat line & logos on those shiny silver birds.
The whole point was 'cheap and shabby.' That in an era when 'cheap and shabby' was the exception!
Maybe we should credit them with inventing it, sorta like Al Gore and the Internet.

While it is going to some growing pains, I think the pilot group and pilot management has been working hard to keep the operation going. They have very aggressive goals.

I think they are hiring FE's on the 727 but you have to go to New York. Junior DC-9 right seat bid just went to an 87' hire in PHL. Junior Captain is DC-9 New York and was an 80' hire.
