We have “the nod”.

Problem is not everyone does it so when someone doesn’t do it back you look around and you're like no one saw that I’m still “cool.” However the biker wave is cool regardless no acknowledgement is needed.

Double waved to y'all in LAX from my newish gig and crickets back. Screw you. May you have many deferred APUs along with deferred bleeds in your future.

I feel you. I passed by not one, but TWO CPZ planes and they didn’t even look over while I was double waving! I’ll be sure to be on the lookout for a double wave coming from yellow, orange, and purple next time!

I think the guys who do the double wave have the personality the majors like to see, so they get the call and move out quickly leaving those who don't wave behind. Just my theory.

Easy. Probably LGA/ORD if 175.

I forget what mountains are nowadays. Have y’all gotten the delta chocolate berry medley yet in the snack box. It’s a game changer.

All 46 in our CRJ class initially got DTW. But while we were still in training, another cycle passed. I got ORD along with 12 or so others. A couple got PSP and 3 or 4 got FAT. Because I live in Cali, FAT is my long term goal and I expect/hope to see it very soon. My LOE will be out of SFO and carries through late May, so maybe I’ll have ORD for only June. Fingers crossed.
There is a lot of movement. They plan to ramp the CRJ class size from 50 to 70 at 2 classes/month.
