I do love my fifi. Come on over, scambo... the green slips are hot and ready!

Gotta do it for the money and enjoying the plane though. The trips... well, just take a gander at the bid pack.

If you're at DL for the layovers and 1-2 leg days, ATL 320 is not the category for you!

He's a bottom block-holder about half the year and in the bottom third of the category.

I guess it was a smart move displacing 320 A's last year

My understanding is we're going to have a tough time hiring to staffing the 321s (which are now slated to be growth)... may have to delay delivery of them. As we've been stating on here, they waited too long to hire and now are on the back side of the power curve.

Great. And guess what? The new fight time/duty time rules haven't even kicked in yet…..

I think they got recalled, but at the time I talked to my bud, I think there were still 320 captains who were displaced.

This next AE might prove to be interesting.

Can't abide NAI

Dude's Movie Review: Billionaire (on Netflix) 5 of 5 stars

A documentary about the founder of once one of the World's largest Air Cargo Operators, death, destitute poverty, prostitution, child abuse and under age rape that will leave you chuckling at the end and recommending it to your friends.

While I try to be a bit bizarre and provocative, that's about as straight up a review of this feel good documentary involving horrific stuff as I can give.

Please don't ruin it by googling the ending. For the lawyers on this board, this is a must see.

Even as I write this it's like whut the heck? But, it's true.

Yep! and I swapped into a trip that puts me at 32/7 on new years day by accident. It let me. I guess all the violations are turned off.

I'm not really sure how I'm going to play this one.

Oh, and any CA that sells back their vaca in JAN is TOTD.
