We are going to be short of pilots in almost all categories this summer. Rumor only but the words critically short are being thrown around for the 7ER.

 

All of this airplane talk, eh, meh.....

Best first two days of March Madness ever!!

 

You quoted the section on line construction. The actual limit for domestic is 9 hours plus a 30 minute buffer. 117 now however requires 10 hours plus 30 minutes. The company is buffering that by 30 minutes for 11 hours total. I would check the rotation in the legality checker and if it shows good contact crew scheds and asked to be paid. If no luck go to the union. They are making a lot of mistakes.

 

Best way to shut down JBlue is to hire all their IP's and FO's..I guess the same principle applies to VX, Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant and Suncountry..

 

Go big orange

 

The UT win over UMass killed a few more of Buffet's pool. There are only about 25 or so left. With the upsets so far, the ones that picked these are pretty amazing...

 

 

Good thing SD says no staffing increases are needed with FAR 117

 

My pet peeve, Sailingfun. My bracket is busted and I won't be a billionaire. So here is a little grammar lesson just for you. Are you one of those WAL guys who got hired without a degree? Than vs. then
Then is mainly an adverb, often used to situate actions in time. For example, you wake up in the morning and then have breakfast. It’s also used in if … then constructions such as, “If you wake late, then you might have to skip breakfast.” It also works as a noun meaning that time (e.g., “I wanted breakfast, but then was not a good time”) and as an adjective meaning at that time (e.g., “My then boyfriend was not an early riser”).

Than is a conjunction used mainly in making comparisons—e.g., “My breakfast is better than yours”; “I make breakfast differently than you do.”

To help distinguish between the two words, remember that than has no one-word synonyms. It is a one-of-a-kind word. To illustrate, try thinking of a single word to replace than in “My breakfast is better than yours.” There isn’t one. Then, in contrast, has many synonyms and often bears replacement with an equivalent word or phrase. For instance, “I woke up and then had breakfast” can become “I woke up and subsequently had breakfast.” The exception is in if … then constructions, where the then is usually required. But for these situations, just remember that then, not than, is the correct spelling of the word often paired with if.

sailingfun has also failed miserably in his usage of "your" and "you're."
