Default IPA

ODell IPA is where to hang your hat! Actually 5 Barrel Ale is better, although not an IPA...

I'll take the Runoff Red IPA!

But the Surly Furious I had in Minny a while back is possibly the best beer I've ever had. It's billed as an IPA; definitely not a West Coast IPA (which I also enjoy). Great balance. More like a strong ale. I see they sell it in the Cibo shops at the airport now.

Reserve is a hybrid animal, but in this situation it is not considered rest as it pertains to this rule. So if PBS builds you a reserve line with 10 days in a row and you never get used, on day 7 crew scheduling is going to have to cut you loose for 30 hrs.
Almost. I learned that before you start a FDP, you must be able to look back 168 hours, and find the appropriate rest. I think this means the last FDP itself doesn't count for the computation.

It's a lot like saying that you need 30 hours of rest in 7 days + 1 workday.

A multi-purpose, timeless post. You can use it on APC, you can try it at home, and you can re-use it in a memo when you make it into the CPO.

If you have someone on a buddy pass traveling from say... ICN... and they don't make the flight. Do their checked bags go anyways? I know that's how it works on domestic flights.

I may be able to keep them from checking bags. Working on that.

I'm not supporting the 30 day thingy... but what you said simply isn't true.
5:15 ADG will help reserves fill up next summer in less time... That will help improve reserve life in summer months starting 2015

Anyone stayed over at the crown for initial training lately?
Haven't stayed there in a while, but I remember the rooms were starting to look a little rough. Not sure if it's been updated since.
