What might help as well is the er guys who took the RMA, too. Less competition. I get the feeling that there may be some surprises on this one. Most of us aren't used to bidding an AE where there is some actual positive movement. Good luck! I hope you get it and if you and Ferd ever fly together, I want pictures! (You might have to send them to my email address though.)

Well, half the er guys who took the RMA here were junior to me! If I do get the bid and if I do fly with Ferd, it will totally be by chance 'cause I'll be reeeaaalllly junior on it! Pictures? Possibly! But I want the email your significant other doesn't know about!! (Disclaimer: Ferd might put the kibosh on photographic evidence!)

For most of the senior fNWA guys, they had to retire at 60 or later to receive their non-qualified pension money as a lump sum. Even one day early and no lump, it would be annuitized.

Thanks trla. I hope those guys enjoy their retirement AND tell their friends who are still flying how great it is.

I understand why. The 757/767 is a great airplane.

You are right. Ferd don't do pictures. It will be all left up to you and your story-telling abilities to portray what REALLY happened.

Good luck.
