Was it that engineering was going to start breeding the older 757s out of habitat. Much cheaper than buying new 737-9MV2X3, or whatever series designation they're up to.

Would it be weird if I wanted to watch?

Wait, what are we talking about again?

I saw this Dal 75 tapping an Eskimo 737 somewhere. I was gonna tag in, but ... What would my family think if they found out? Nah! Somebody slap me.

Can I answer too? Is this a wish list or what I would vote for?

Wish list, Dash 8-200 is the only aircraft allowed to be outsourced.

What I would vote for? I don't think I could get a mainline fleet size put back in at this point. I don't like where the ratios are. I would like to see the ratios increase year over year to further the squeeze. I would be happy if there was language that said once a ratio is reached, in our favor, that becomes the new minimum and the next year it's that new minimum plus an increase and it can never go below that.

I would like to see more restrictions on range and frequency.

I am just tossing this out for the discussion of it, but what if no route can with more than two flights a day can be exclusively DCI?

In a Simpsons episode Marge and Homer took the kids to a dog track. Their dog, a greyhound named Santas Little Helper, got on the track and began chasing another greyhound, a female.

He wasn't racing, he had something else planned. They didn't show it but they showed Bart and Lisa's confused faces.

Lisa: What's Santa's Little Helper doing to that dog?

Marge: Uh oh...

Bart: It looks he's trying to jump over her, but he can't quite make it.

On that note...

What could go wrong? Seems to be working well as he tries to line up with the runway.

In today's news, another Delta Aerolines aircraft flew directly into the underboob of a 22 year old female, killing her and the 156 people on board the aircraft.

I don't know of anyone at Atlas who knows anything....but we found out yesterday that one of Delta's Chief Pilots (I think that was his position) is now the Atlas CP....and there have been several guys who have been commuting on DAL in the last week or so...when they checked in to get their boarding pass, the DAL kiosk said something like "Welcome to the new Delta, Atlas Air Partnership..." we don't know what that means and if it is connected to our new CP....

scheduling question

What are the limits of the rules that a short call pilot, or a long call pilot must be released at 1200 on their last on call day prior to a hard non fly day? More specifically can they assign you a trip that reports at 1300 as long as it gets you back by 2359? Or, since you are technically a long call pilot at 1159 on that last day, they can't give you that 1 day trip and must release you at 1200? If you're not sure of the answer, who should I ask?
