I just picked up a Moto X, by Motorola. The only smartphone Made In America, Ft. Worth TX to be exact. I love it. Way better battery life than my Iphone, nice camera, google now voice commands (if you want them), and a very clean Android install with almost no bloatware. It's available on every US network. You can choose any color you want, there are hundreds of combinations. This was the first phone made by Motorola for their new owners, Google. It's the result of a lot of data driven engineering decisions, and from my perspective, they've nailed it. Perfect every day phone.

More precise is it is assembled in the US. Still, good on Motorola/Google for doing that, and they do plan to move more of the part manufacturing to the US.
Plus the customization is really neat.

As a reminder, America's Cup racing will be live on NBC Sports Channel at 4pm east today. (right now)

Let's hope they get a couple races in today, yesterday was postponed due to high winds.

ATL MD88, 18...B717, 37
MSP MD88, 9

Should be getting a call from CR on the week of the 16 to bid what and where..

This I posted on 9/11/13..I picked DTW 737 and will be attending the 18 NOV class

Thanks for the update
Do you happen to know how many are in the Nov 18th class date?
Also out of the 200 out on furlough around what # were you?

Here's the info right now based on the Oct13 Category list, and modified by any AE award that has a lower seniority #. I also looked at the Sep and Oct 13 Line vs. Res counts, and show the seniority # of both the lowest lineholder as well as the actual most junior guy in that category. Left side is sorted by lowest total seniority, right side is same info sorted by lowest lineholder.

Below that is what seniority # it takes to hold each base as a Capt, and to hold a line there.

I have also cross referenced the ALPA seniority calculator, which takes into account all retirements and gives my seniority at the END of each year. According to that, I can:
HOLD CAPT anywhere (NYCM88A) by end of 2020.
HOLD a LINE somewhere as Capt (NYCM88A) by end of 2021.

I was hired in 2001. That means at the 19 year point I MAY be able to commute to NYC to be the bottom reserve guy. At the 20 year point, I can commute to NYC to actually hold a Capt line. At the end of 21 years, I can hold a line west of the Mississippi in something.

Sorry, but THAT is the real data as of today--all else is smoke and sunshine being blown up my posterior.

On a brighter note, according the ALPA seniority calculator, I will retire at number -25. I have that going for me.

Not totally sure of the number per class..but 20/ 2 week start date seems to be the number quoted the most on the APC board. Maybe 25 per class per month to get to the 50 per month number. I was # 64 on the recall/bypass list.

That calculator is a total bummer for me. If I stay till the end of my age 63 year, I'll almost be at my fNWA new hire number. I'll finally pass it if I stay to age 64.

Cool stuff - I just hope our next pay raise is not measured in yoctometers!
