[QUOTE=Roadkill;1488821]Mike,
Despite what dalad said, at AUA there are sometimes long lines for non-crew members.
--Entry into AUA isn't too bad unless you land when there are several flights, there is a separate line for Airline Crew, you go through that and show passport to AUA folks and that's it. The other lines move pretty fast too, and there are 5 or 6 of them all fee.... ... .. .
Roadkill,
I am very impressed with the passion you have exhibited to spend the time to pound all that out and will definitely take it under strong advisement. Thank-you. Incidentally, I don't take the United Pilot and wife story at face value and think that it was more a case of TSA keeping there numbers up, but I will spare the good people here yet another anti-government rant. So again thanks!

Could this be the first LOA ever sent back?

Is it your contention that if management wants something, we must give it because you just can't see what leverage we have to fight it?
Wow.

My apologies, much like DAL mgmt of old, I didn't even think of the west coast, just focused on the east coast long haul directs. Those have shrunk. Now if I can get guys in my category to bid 330 SEA so they can go back to HKG, I'd be happy.

Got a chance to stand in one of Timbo and Scambo's engines today over at Tech Ops following a maintenance check flight.
Wow. That is some heavy metal.
Definitely not as good as Oregon cheerleaders but still pretty cool.
Not sure I believe it, but the mechanic who lent us a ladder to climb up there said the GE90-115 puts out more thrust at idle than a MD-88 at full rated takeoff power.

Given what was leaked about it... up to a 15% reduction in pacific block hours allowed from current level...that's a good thing it got shot down. alfa harps on block hours as being pilot jobs. That's a 15% reduction in the most senior jobs in the company just being allowed at the drop of a hat..

Essential,
Is that on a good day, or bad day? How is the HMU rigged? Beed values open, or closed.
I figure EPR was put on JT8D's because there's no reliable correlation between anything and anything on an MD88. They must have finally given up and measured Blow as a ratio to Suck.

I don't believe the idle thing either, maybe more than a 73N.
