Anyone ever double wave and the other CPZ jet makes eye contact but doesn’t double wave? I always think that they must have gotten FCND on go home day when that happens.

Yes, it has happened quite a bit recently. Typically the CA and I would start waving aggressively, staring across to hopefully see the other crew reciprocating. Instead we are met with a stare. Usually followed by us commenting obscenities and talking about how our day has been ruined.

Rick Leach and his porn stache out to be plucked out hair by hair by a tweezer...for a 1/100th of his gross mismanagement and incompetence of two airlines.
Wait until UAL tells the stache the CRJ550 is done and conversions are halted. Just wait...

Then sit back and watch the hullabaloo 😁

Yet another example of how much aviation depends on good timing. I came onboard CPZ to the MEM base at a time newly minted, beautiful, red tail birds were coming online on a monthly basis. Delta being Delta, it seemed they were all repainted blue in a matter or weeks! MEM inevitably closed soon thereafter, but the real blow to the gut was the day we were sold to TSH. I still can't get over that one, and I've been gone for over 4 years now! Here's hoping this virus runs its course soon, and that you guys all land on your feet.
