Probably only a handful of guys that don't have their ATP here but everyone will have to get it soon enough.

Tell that to all those poor regional pilots sitting 24 hours a day on 2 hour call outs....it sucks but it is legal.

I forget that some people never lived that nightmare. I was lucky to never sit a ready RSV or airport RSV but that 15 minute call out is limited unlike the 2 hour. Good thing our contract is more restrictive.

I'm pretty sure this isn't legal. You can't operate an airplane Part 121 unless you've had 8 hours of rest in the preceding 24 hours.

Adios for a while APC friends. Had a lightning strike. Took out everything wired to a wall. Even AC units on a 100 AMP sub panel, garage door openers, cell phone chargers, kitchen appliances, shop equipment. The file server was on a battery BU, behind a surge protector, still got blown to smithereens. Hoping the company network nerd can get data back off the RAID.

Good news is ... the house did not burn down and the musical equipment was unplugged.

Has anyone else heard that Compass guys are getting 90 day letters from Delta about hiring?

AC, computers, fans, tvs, even garage door openers and appliances, outlets, 100 amp garage breakers, compressors, shop stuff, stuff that should survive a nuclear strike ... gone.

Sorry to hear that. You should try the simple life and not replace any of it. :eek:

Not yet, but we are hiring 110 into a pool, which happens to be the same number that can flow in a year.

Or even see the ground, and she's a wee bit top heavy!

Good thing there was no crosswind blowing! :eek:

Iceman sent me this tonight. For all of the StarLizard bros:

Lockheed's C-141 "The Hanoi Taxi" - YouTube

What a great jet and what a great mission.
