If you like going back to the dark ages, its great!:) Are you going from the rt seat to the left?

Not to beat the dental work horse...but my wife had a crown re-done last year and - based on our insurance statement & dental bill - it was not covered. It sounds like some of you guys are having luck calling MetLife and using the Jedi mind trick on them to get work like that covered.

True? Any magic words you have to say to them? Speak to a supervisor?

Be awesome to be going to the left seat of the ER at 9 years......some of those 2014 guys will make it that fast! Right seat to right seat.
Don't want to commute to the 330 so I figured I would venture into the ER and see what it's like being an international man of leisure.

archaic for sure, but dependeble ... but you don't want the ER in MSP, word is it's on the chopping block.

Will they bring something else in to replace it? Or just have MSP keep shrinking.

If you read the last crew resources memo, someone asked if they were going to reopen msp330. It was a valid question based on departures. So, it's possible.

Any suggestions for a seat cushion for the 717?

No kidding. Everyone likes to think that their seat sucks, but the 717 really does. The sim seats are way more comfortable that the airplane seats. I'm going to be looking for a seat supplement as well. It only took 1 trip to come to that conclusion.

Thanks, MD.

No ding on you, but ... $173 for a cushion? We're pilots. I'd rather grab some red blankets and white pillows from Economy Comfort Plus Whatever It's Called These Days.
