That will push me down 15 places, while pushing 15 off the bottom. Those bottom 15 will cascade down into other categorys, and push more out the bottom, all the way down to the 717.

That category may be entirely filled by MD's. At least they won't be seat locked for 24 mo.

That's the truth. I'm growing weary of continuing to slide backwards. But hey, I'm holding my first vacation induced line since august of 2010 in April, haha.

At least the bids will be coming more frequently... oh wait. ;)

Speaking of a "summer off", too bad we didn't get the 787 after all.

:D

DL looks like freaking geniuses for deferring those orders. Apparently it's going to be another 4-6 weeks before even test flights are allowed.

Yo, A380... I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but the 787 had one of the biggest delays on active service of all time.. OF ALL TIME!

Yeah but life would be good right now if you were a 787 pilot. :D

Then once it comes back, http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_MF12YJq_g...ss+shatter.jpg

I'm sure the blogs of Airbus vs Boeing where the pro Boeing guys had a lot of laughs at the Airbus A380 are probably rather quiet right now, no?

Shoot - put us by the Mall near the airport where I stayed with COEX - at least we could walk across the parking lot to the mall and get something to eat.

Dude no kidding. It's nice around the airport, but we drive 10 miles away to nothing really.

The worse is PHF, I saw a 9 hour overnight there with a drive from PHF to Hampton for the overnight. That's 20 miles each way and WITHOUT traffic about 30 minute drive. On a 9:14 overnight. ?????????

"Well it's downtown Hampton, we had to find a downtown somewhere. We just can't stay next to the airport just because it's the biggest mall and commercial district on the east side of the State." But yet Troy in Albany?

I think it's time to fire up some FCRs. I feel like I haven't been ignored all weekend, so let me submit these things and get my "who cares what you think" cup filled and ignored. :)

So we're no longer in that nice hotel downtown in ALB a few blocks from the hudson?

That was a really nice summer layover...

We are 10 miles north of that up the river and then a mile or two east of the river.

That sounds like where you hear banjos being played and hear "you've got a purdy mouth" in a New York accent.... blargh!
