A couple blocks from our hotel is a restaurant called La Italia (or something similar)... absolutely my favorite italian place anywhere. I would highly suggest that if yall like italian food!

I don't normally post this much, just too much time on my hands.

Scope is a big deal, as are the mainline jobs that apparently will be generated by our new CBA.

No need for nastiness. Enjoy growth when you can get it.
Ah... the age old question. The number of block hours required per the contract to be transferred from DCI to Mainline is...?

who calls it a CBA anyways? I mean where is the link that says CBA on deltanet?

Here's your numbers on the Q400 compared to other jets using the latest info I have available. I copied and pasted but added some formulas here and there.



If you're really in the mood to have a prop, you're an idiot not to take the ATR-72 over the Q400 which is probably why the ATR has taken the Q400 behind the woodshed in orders outside of Canada, cough, cough.

And you're an idiot to take the Q400 over a jumbo RJ with a similar price.

Now mind you, that assumes identical discounts which I doubt BBD gives in proportion on the barely ordered Q400 and does not include maintenance costs. Which I'm sure sets the Q400 back a ways...



So given the superb intellect of our management team, I seriously doubt they'd chosen the Q400 for much of anything.

I have HAD IT with that Stephanie chick who lives 2.8 miles from me and wants to be my friend!

I'm going to draw a 2.8 mile ring around my house and start driving! When I find that tramp, and I WILL FIND HER, it's going to get nasty!

(I just hope she's a lot older, and fatter than in that picture)

;^)


Hey, it's Friday Night!

Jesse, where's the Underboob??

That's really weird, cause Stephanie only lives 2.8 miles from me. Stop by and pick me up. I got beers. We'll make a roadtrip outta it.

So the JAL MD-90s, talked to one of the pilots who brought them back from Japan and he says they're very very nice. Nicest so far.

That's true.

BTW, ff you want to know what my neighbor looks like then stare at the one in yellow.

Which brings up a story. Run into neighbor at the grocery store and we're talking away when my wife calls. Neighbor says, give me the phone. I do.

Neighbor: "Hello?" in sexy voice.

FTB Wife: "Uh... hello?" Pause. "[FTB]?"

Neighbor: "He's busy. Who is this?"

FTB Wife: "Who is this?!"

Furball ensues.

When the joke ended my neighbor goes "hey it's just me! " To which my wife, laughs. Turns out the whole time my wife thought "WHO IS THIS WOMAN WHO STOLE MY HUSBANDS PHONE!"

I guess I'm petty lame. Not even a thought about anything else. Maybe she knows that there really isn't much competition out there for FTB.

Time for a little heritage video!



The -40 couldn't use the autothrottles on takeoff, so it was "80 knots, thrust normal." The -30 is was where my namesake comes from... "80 knots, CLMP." Truly amazing my wife is still with me.

It should be noted that big bird was flying DTW-BOS....
