Decision early 2013. If keeping 9, hiring mid 2013 or later.

Thx Herman.

Left Coast flying is working out great... love the long Asia's. Basically been commuting about once/mo.

Selling the house in Newnan.... not so much. Will be giving up and bidding back to the ATL, if I can't find a buyer by this time next year.

One more thing... Most likely first group of 717's going to DTW, to replace 50ish rj50's.

FTB intercepts Shuttle?
 

Is this FTB's wing?

Caption: I told them when they take the Space Shuttle to the desert the crew will return on a DC9 / McDouglas 88.

It's the NASA C-9 not a -88 ;-), I saw it with the shuttle at Ellington Field when it stopped here in town a couple days ago.

NASA C-9 Zero G profile

That profile looks like a normal flight with Newk.

Yup i'll vouch for that, airspeed doesn't bleed off either with him cause the -9 knows better

I was going to say that looks like a typical RJ flight, but the top of the altitude scale should be "FL410, dude".

Looks suspiciously like MEM-LIT in the -30 with -17 engines to me....
