I read in ALPA's "where are they now" edition, Timmay was needed on the "Aurora Program" but declined due to a scheduling conflict. On the 6th Monday of every month he has an obligation to look out for and save kittens from SouthWest and Corrects the Wind for Delta arrivals, bypassing the classic "wind check" call.

Have they said when the 2nd ERJ will show up yet? I guess they pushed back putting them into service in April.

It is already here and the ERJ program has been approved. We are on the 3rd aircraft already, possibly the 4th.

That's great. Good news. Any idea where the tail #'s physically came from? Who delivered them? Are newly typed Commutair guys getting to pick them up?

I am not sure who delivered them but a guess is XJT because they originate from IAH. 16147 & 14186. I will have to get you the other number later.

They said they will overlay some of the dash 8 routes initially.

Greetings, can anyone comment on commuting to IAD from FAY? CA has a few flights daily and was wondering if any other CA pilots commute from there? I have a class date and reside in NC, seems to be a workable commute.

On the other hand the Q300 is normally not an issue. IAD-FAY-IAD is not the worst route load wise, for example I am flying there tonight 3 open seats, FAY-IAD tomorrow is 6 open seats and the 14 opens seats later in the day. So it's doable but not all rainbows. Once the ERJ is up fully, wight and balance should be less of an issue.
