Cinnamon with a hint of saffron and mother-of-pearl.

When I saw it my first thought was, "Who gives a sheet, no matter what color it is, I'm not wearing it!".

Amazing what passes for news these days. I think we need to see Martin Savage wearing it, in a 777 simulator, with the guy with the goatee trying to teach him how to do a rapid descent.

It seems like we never add any pilots to the widebodies. They said all 747's gone in less than three years. I guess our careers look pretty optimistic if you want to retire as a 737-900 or 321 captain.

Once we are past the summer, we will add to the 320 categories for the 321 deliveries in 2016. Network has told us the initial 321s will be focused in ATL.
So I guess no chance of the 321 being a separate category?

Damn Hockey you are a negative Nancy! Clue, these are the best of times. Enjoy it while it lasts. Lot's of hiring, upgrades, pay raises etc. Don't get used to it as it won't last forever. You have not seen anything but raises since being hired. Never a pay cut or downgrades. You would have never survived the turmoil post 9/11(furloughs, pay cuts, pension loss, displacements, damn near ch7 etc without a heart attack) Lighten up and enjoy the moment!

Nah. These days, with oil prices dropping, a smart guy who uses AirNav can get 100LL in the $3-4 range. The FBO at ATL is a chain with a reputation for being spendy, and mega-hubs (ORD, ATL, SFO, etc) are always very high anyway.

The fees at ATL are actually pretty reasonable. I'd gas up elsewhere, tanker and pay the $40. At $9, 15 gallons is $135, which minus the $40 fee you'd save is $95, for an effective price of $6.33.

I've seen quite a few GA airplanes taxi through the airline ramps, so I'd be prepared for that if arriving from the South.

Hey guys, quick question for our Marine Corp buddy. Should simulator time ie KC-130J level D time be included in total logbook time? Cheers h

I know it sounds like sour grapes, but I've pretty much resigned myself to retiring on the 73N. If I can't upgrade with my seniority, '88 hire, the guys behind me will soon discover real stagnation. Still, it's nice to have a job.
