Ugh, flying a Mud-pup appreciation trip. Layovers in MCI and ORF. The domestic layover hotels are better than the Novotel NH crap we are seeing overseas.

I like the ORF and MCI overnights.

Let's take this a step further. I think we should have bases negotiate for pilots like sports teams handle free agency.

"Okay Atlanta, we'll send over Watkins and O'Neil, and in exchange you give us Davis and your second pick in the November class. Oh, and to sweeten the deal we'll send over ship 123AB - the engines spool up at the same time, the sync actually works, and both pilot seats have headrests."

"Sounds good LA, but Davis is too junior and we need to clear up some cap space. How about we send over Jacobs instead?"

"Deal."

Power and Light District baby! Hooters right next to hotel in ORF. If you have time hit up the O'Conner Brewing Company in ORF. Great dark IPA

The power and light district is awesome! Last time I was there I was able to catch a few live bands playing out in the big atrium area.

I'd say the real numbers will be much more apparent to all of us over the next few months, and beyond. Can't wait to see how you'll spin that.

but how do you know who is the best?

simple, see who could start an engine in the least amount of time without over temping.
