Is the training CD that comes with the EFB tablet a paid training event? If so does anyone know what it pays in time?

You get paid 33 minutes for the EFB training.

Interesting that FLY Leasing announced the sale of 12 757's today. Buyer not disclosed. Average age 13 years. Right up our alley.

Is it true the 717 doesn't have a green banana?

Right up your alley is an order for 200+ish E195's/Cseries, even if Delta was able to get all of the 717's built, 150ish, it would not be enough to cover the losses of DCI.

NO! It does not! If she said that, I think she needs to be schooled.

If you click on the "eligible expenses" link in my post and then scroll down you will see that a Limited Purpose FSA says it can be used for Dental copays but NOT Medical copays.

Essentially it can only be used for dental and vision expenses.

You require video proof that management is plotting to keep labor costs as low as possible?

Their website shows a sale of 8 757's with an average age of 15.7 years, where did you get the 12 number, they only have 11 757's in their portfolio.

I think the cost of a 717 from SWA is a lot less than the cost of an E-195. Who even knows when the C series will even be available? The 717 move was a lot smarter than a large E jet or C series order, even if we never get more than 88 of them.

Lots of old DCI flying being done with the other narrowbody fleets as well. I know the 319 is doing at least a dozen cities that were DCI 12 months ago.
