That's why we stick with the dot matrix printers. That paper is thin enough that you don't need ink. Several gate agents have advised me that you can read it just fine if it's missing ink, you just have to read brail. They are saving a ton on the rare ribbons of plumage found only on the inkosaurus.

Should we let them in at the bottom or hold them in at the top? ALPA's next dilemma. We were against guns until we were for guns, remember? "65 and no more" was heard a lot, a few years back. 60 was a hard number for how many years? Bets on 65?

It made sense to move to age 65, that's what ICAO had as their age limit. Age 65 is still their limit...until they increase that age limit, I'm not too worried about the FAA changing age 65.

2nd hand info, so I can't vouch for the validity of the following. Japan approached ICAO/FAA about increasing to age 67 and they said no way.

Just wait until the staffing issues start causing real problems in Asia and the EU. Hoping you're right. :o

Just a matter of negotiating.

Clearly you haven't done much SEA research.

Bid what you want, want what you bid.

Whatever you do, make sure you have some MD preferences in there, just in case.

That too. Eventually I'll join that camp but not on this bid. 👍🏻
