He sounded exceptionally well-rested.

I'm a dinosaur driver (DC-9) and am starting systems study for the A-330. Also, I'm a MacBook Pro owner. I think ya'll can see this one coming. Is it absolutely necessary to get bootcamp to access the study materials on the thumb drive? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Sorry I cannot answer your question specifically but thought I would throw out a little sage advice on what to study after you view the thumb drive. Look at all the stuff but concentrate on the LOD document. All the test questions will come from that. I went thru the course in the beginning of this year.

I want mine!
 
General observation, but if our CEO was to get 10% raise in one year I think we deserve more than we have gotten! See page 9:

You know that the fleet plan is on DeltaNet, right? You don't have to keep making stuff up.:p

Through 2015 there are 88 B717 and 50 B739 deliveries. That's 138 right there. Only 40 CRJ-900 are on order during that timeframe.

Those other 30 76 seat jets should have been ordered by now. Perhaps they are not coming? Maybe that's scope recapture in 2015.

I think it has been posted a few times previously that RA does not intend of purchasing them.

Okay, question for you, where would that put the bh ratio?

40 firm orders and 30 options.

Fwiw CRJ900's backlog shows only four customers: Delta Air Lines (40) and Adria Airways (1).

If they only take 40 new 76 seaters and retain all the other 76 seaters there would be a total of 193 in the system. That provides a MBH-DBH of 1.35.

The table is in section 1 of the PWA.

Chuck,
Pretty sure all the initial systems cd's/USB's require windows to run. After that training the rest are MAC friendly. Just went through a course and I too would have thought that had all been migrated to mac friendly by now, but not the case. I have one old Windows laptop that I keep around for just such occasion (mostly cause I didn't want to deal with bootcamp or other apple emulators):eek:, otherwise it collects dust.
