I thought buzz flew the star lizard aka the C-141 aka The Tube of Pain. The C-5M has new hydraulics new engines new pneumatics and new avionics, no reason it cant get airborne now. I flew the new avionics with CPDLC and ADS-B, very nice with 6 big screens in front of you. Then I came to the airlines and flew the Maddog. Talk about regressing a few years.

I was confused about the DC9 info in the latest crew resources memo and e-mailed them to clarify the plan. The guy who puts out the newsletter replied and stated that YES, the DC9 categories WILL be closing on the next AE, mid March. As stated, it will be their 365 day conversion option, and network wants all DC9's parked by end of January 2014. All DC9 drivers will be converted by then. Looks like there is a MD in my future that I wasn't planning on evaluating...

This means I was wrong again. With the 9's going on this AE, the addition of 100 B-717 crews don't really make up for it. Add (really subtract) on to that that they are trying to figure out what to do with the 767 FO positions, looks like this is going to be a net negative AE. 20 B-737 crews in DTW helps a little to bring it to neutral, but just a little.

OMG, I am going through the kitchen rehab mode now and I am at the point where I would prefer they take that granite slab, hoist up five floors and drop it on my skull. The agony would only last a micro second.
