Word is HNL mechanics are going to school for the 900. Islands, here they come. Anyone remember the small provision slipped into the last loa?...
Are you talking about the augument turns?

If so, then you're mistaken. 737= no haz rest facility.

I've been corrected about this before.

It just seems that it is classic putting all of one's eggs in the same bucket. And then seeing what tuition is there... wow. They must have one heluva recruiting department.

And I had post #165000...
Yep. State University and mom-and-pop flight school is the correct formula. Always has been.

That was my formula. Worked good, hopefully lasts long time.

Looks like Grumpy Cat got in on the action, too:

Kind of like leaving our back door wide open and facilitating the entry of illegal aliens using our own tax payer dollars, including those from terror-supporting countries who seek to destroy us...using...such things as...airplanes. Or, "necessarily skyrocketing" the price of the energy upon which our industry relies ...Would we even have an FFDO program if the D's had been in control after 9-11?

I used to agree to the union mantra of "vote your job" (therefore vote D)...until I realized...no country: no job.

Clearly, keeping the 747's longer would have been better, but how are displacements from parking 4 747's tempered "only a little" by the delivery of 10 330's? Or are you referring to the fact that guys will still be displaced from the 747 to the 330?

Honestly guys.....This forum makes me feel like a schiz-o-phrenic what with all the completely different conversations going on simultaneously!


I gotta take a break every 10 minutes, just to retain my sanity, (or maybe not!)

It's really getting worse than chitchat, where they're all arguing about a rumor!

But anyway, carry on.....I gotta go

Why do you think we all drink Torpedo's??

Have a few of those first, then start reading.

Between 80K's and FTB's giffs, sometimes I laugh until I'm crying!
