Just got a Council 66 e-mail announcing that pilots now have access to the Golden Touch Crew Runner. Not to be confused with the Q Runner. Well done C 66 reps!

Default A321 rumor

Training Department rumor: 3 CRJ50 to 1 A321 deal in 2013 with Airbus. They take 3 rj's and we buy 1 A321. Characterized as a "small" order. That's all. Throw no stones.

So 200 x 50-seat RJ's / 3 = 67, or maybe 70 x A321's? I hope they have more powerful engines then current models.

Not bad, plus no special training required since the type is common with the A320/319.

Maybe 172 seats? Plus 2 x jumpseats up front? Sounds good.

If it's the NEO, it would be 185 in 2-class seating with 33,000 lb-thrust engines.

Airbus A320neo family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I thought the 717 was the 50-seat replacement. Are these additive?

My apologies to Herman.
No worries Brother Sink...please allow me to buy the next round. Cheers...H

So as those 200s leave pinnacle 10 of our pilots come to delta per 200 to help you staff those 321s, 717s, and 737-900s right?

Don't shoot me as the messenger, but, look for an update/directive on proper uniform wear. Richard likes our uniform including the hat. There will be a process put in writing probably effective in the new year, which will include disciplinary action if you aren't wearing the uniform correctly. So, if you come to work with no hat, a windbreaker instead of the coat, and cowboy boots, plan accordingly. Now, what about fat, old FA's, gate agents in dreadlocks, pierced ears and tattoos?

Hey, That's really nice of you Herman. Boomer appreciates it.

But, it begs the question, why are you having lunch with SD? Are you going to talk Military Channel?
