Anybody know how many we are losing to the DAL December 10th class? I know of 3 people, but I suspect it's more

I’ve heard 20

Well, I was going to keep it a secret, but since everyone is talking about the 12/10 class....


Yeah I haven’t even got an email

I don't even need to move up anymore!! According to an email I got, I have millions of dollars waiting for me in a Nigerian bank, just need to collect it then I'm sitting pretty... good luck to you all.

Some people have all the luck! All I got was a vacation at an all inclusive resort worth $10,000! All I had to pay was $50 with my credit card.

Yep. Works even with a short taxi, you can start 2 at the top of the box, and be warm up complete by the time you hit 25R at Fox

You're lucky, I got a call from the IRS saying I owe $2000 and I have to pay them in Best Buy gift cards or I'm going to jail!

Check your junk mail. Lots of people getting good news there lately

At the regional level, there’s no reason to taxi single-engine. You don’t get profit sharing for your savings and your company doesn’t buy the fuel; the company that contracted out your job does. I’ve only had a handful of situations that warranted it...taxiing from the box to 25R wasn’t one of them. Using 50% THR to get going and burning the APU negates any of that fuel savings on the 175, unless it’s an extended taxi time. Nothing’s more painful to watch than a 175 at 40% N1 trying to accelerate. Also, a cold engine burns more fuel on TO.

Ya but the Delta guy in the back will hear me start number 2 right before takeoff and after the flight will get me a job. That's how it works right?
