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.

Then once it comes back,

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!

What time on the 18th does it close? I'll go for 48hrs. after it closes, but it could be longer, if there's a whole bunch of displacing that needs to be double checked.

Whoops.... I mean't say say the 20th at 1100... 2 days and change was the plan for the bet. Too late to change?

I think I might go 22 @1659. There are A LOT of displacements on this one.

The 717 is the most loved a/c in the fleet apparently. 216 senior to 116## want B and 987 want A with 360 as a #1 choice for that 4th stripe.

In fact there are over 300 more pilots with a 717A in than there are 777A. Realist I guess
