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.

Default 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.

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....
