I have checked everything I can to figure out why it does this but have been unsuccessful so far. Any ideas? APC is the only site that does this.

I went back and added up the times as listed on the CD menu pages and they are higher than what the welcome letter states. How do they decide how much to pay is there some type of average or is it strictly based on runtime?

The good news is that it seems to be designed to bounce off stuff and is easy to repair. Those things on the forward fuselage have nothing to do with managing airflow during a uncoordinated stall, they are curb feelers. Stalls with the ball out of center aren't recoverable.
Now that 5 leg days and Jackson Mississippi overnights have moved to the 737, I'm preparing for the nonstop thrill ride that is the MD88. Anyone know if we need to take Malarone for JAN? Recall on MD88 IOE for the obligatory new hire qual beverage we walked to a convenience store and shared a tall boy (two cups) while sitting on the curb.

So they can hang out and wait for the panzers.
Newhires want JOBS, and they need money, every day, not hotel rooms for a few weeks.
