I think the real beef here is the original senior FO already is kind of senior. The ultra senior FO who is snatching the trip could make this same deal with the guy who is already senior so at least he'd get a good trip out of it, but instead is going to the JR. guy who was going to fly anyway. Now the original senior FO is still flying the original trip, the original junior FO is off on a more desirable trip, and the ultra senior sniper FO is chilling at home. I can see how the guy who thought he was getting the week off might be a little bugged by this situation.

Excuse me stewardess, I speak Jive.

Around here we only can correctly identify those military airplanes that were in movies.

Therefore here are the airplanes:

F-14. Thank you Top Gun.

If there is a loophole or way to abuse a system we have pilots who will exploit it. Witness the current mess with TOE trips as a example.

Uh oh Mike. Now you've done it.
I know it is going to be a fun day when some new guy questions FTBs skills at military aircraft recognition.

FTB, Timbo, 80kts and a few others are resident experts on the fine art of fighter jet recce here on APC. There's a tradition that goes back several years.

Obviously we have some new guys that are not aware of their expertise.
Maybe we can get FTB to post a primer on how to spot an F-15..

And BTW, it was not a MiG. It was clearly a C-130 painted to look like a MiG.

Yeah I went back and looked and he didn't get SLC 73N B he got SEA 73N B so even if he just got a seatlock, which he did, it wouldn't matter because it's a new category.
