Favorite memories include

Infamous Email: "Ugh"

The guy that got upset over his pen and people stuffed his V-file full of hotel pens

"Emergency blow the slides" at 3:01 on the tarmac

The guy that said "long time listener, first time caller" on the conference call

When my PA button unknowingly got stuck on pushback

When scheduling offered to buy me clothes if I would turn a day trip into a 2 day (only had headset)

When an FO almost had me believing him that Delta was going to staple us

Email from management saying ALL EMPLOYEES could wear their favorite NFL jerseys to work the next day

So many others..

Man, I laughed at way too many if these, and sadly I doubt I'll ever see anything like this in the rest of my career now that I'm gone. Definitely going to miss the funny emails. The gossip we all got from the ladies in STL, the requests for information about new hire Tech Ops folks, and the information about flight attendants getting fired was just too entertaining, too. I guess the "how to use email" CBT they finally got must have worked...

You've made it! You're moving on the the next step in your career. Don't be bashful. Share the news and let the others celebrate with you. But please share, if you feel comfortable:
1. How long you've been at CPZ.
2. Where you're going.
3. Your favorite memory.
4. What you'll miss the most.

Congrats and happy flying!

Was at CPZ for a total of 13 months. Never thought I’d move on so fast!

I’m at SY learning the 737 now. And having a blast.

Flying up and down the west coast has given me so if the most beautiful flights. Recently flew from Calgary to Salt Lake on a rare clear day enjoying the Canadian Rockies to Glacier Park over Yellowstone and into SLC. What a flight.

Will miss the people. Flew with some of the most fun and best people in the business. Will also miss the 175. It could possible be the most advance plane I end up flying in my career. Spoiled we are.

Check out their pay rates. I'm betting they're not super selective.

That would be like winning the lottery for SY pilots.

A little more 121 but not much. I did fly 135 for a couple years.

Class seems to be a spread of regional guys with 1 to 15 years experience. I’d say average of a 2-3 years regional experience.

If you want to fly 737’s all over the world it sounds like a sweet gig.

Plus there’s the chance of a SouthWest buyout!

Fixed it for you
