Left a couple of months ago but still checking the boards here, hoping for a big announcement soon.
1. 3 years almost to the day
2. Alaska
3. Thanksgiving dinner with the crew at Fast Eddie’s in GEG
4. Of course the crews. And overnights in Bend. And the double wave (almost double-waved at a CPZ plane in SJC this morning, but they were busy).
Hoping for the best for everyone.

Missed this thread! Been over a year. Here goes!
Little under 4 years (left over a year ago)
Spirit.
Couple of favorite memories. First, the 1 Dollar 30oz taps at the hotel next to the Minot Comfort inn. It was so awful it was good.
Water slide at the old, old, old, YVR layover. One of the sandman hotels. As a newish hire FO, around 2015ish. I went down the big water slide after my captain (who was in Denim cargo shorts cuz he didnt bring swim trunks). Little did I know he got stuck in the slide due to said shorts, and as I came around the second to last corner doing about 30MPH, we almost died in a collision. Lol
What ill miss the most? Other than all the great crews, Id have to say all the meme’s and yoke clip jokes.

I'll play.
1. How long you've been at CPZ.
I was at CPZ for 5 years and 6 months. Went through the Pinnacolaba mess prior as an Mesaba pilot and spent 5 years there. I left in March, so this post is a bit late.
2. Where you're going.
Wild Turkey shots at 7:37pm.
3. Your favorite memory.
Where do I start? Ping Pong Tournaments, Pilots Vs FA's in pool or darts, Monopoly on long legs, Karaoke, Getting off on Echo and heading straight into the Eagle's Nest, singing Weird Al's Albuquerque song with my FO's whilst flying to Albuquerque, that time I turned my crew into a drill team on a long sit and we marched synchronized all over LAX changing various formations, Frequency Memory messages in the boxes, geometric VNAV, a bunch of auto positions on the overhead with flows not taking 30 minutes for one... I could go on forever here...
4. What you'll miss the most.
The closeness/family atmosphere we had.
<rant>
I got an interview and was finally hired with about 7300 total time and 3000 TPIC, was an LCA, Bachelors degree. Talking to most of the civilians in my class, we were all pretty high time and LCA's. My class was mostly military (80%) or so, and I was the baby at 33 years old (they make you wear a pin that says baby on board through training and if you forget it, you're buying the beer). They used to make you carry a massive pacifier and the wise old owl got a cane, but someone was triggered apparently... Anyhow, LCA or another leadership role is key here, and I believe that goes for Yo-nited too as I was also offered to go to the Civilian Job Fair around the same time.
I miss you guys, I wish CPZ was in a better state right now, and I am hoping the announcement happens soon. Good luck to all and hopefully you'll be posting here soon too!

1. Been here for 3.5 years. Did tours in all bases except PHX.
2. Big Yellow party bus.
3. Favorite memory is flying with BLS departing SFO and laughing at a UA plane who sounded like he was legit talking from the bathroom. Could barely talk on the radio from laughing so hard. Pretty sure the whole first class cabin heard us. Also met 007 that same trip in 1A with his wife. Initials are PB and debuted in Goldeneye. Super nice guy and shook my hand. You remember how star struck I was Bobby.
4. Obviously the people. Made some real life long friends. Learned some great things. Hope to see you all around.
It’s been a privilege ladies and gentlemen. I won’t be a stranger.
