so i'd call the percentage far far lower back then with 7,000 pilots.

the past few weeks have seen OOBGSWC on multiple occasions.

trackers are even commenting in rotations as "will need to cover due to poor pilot staffing"
8,6319

Is this that Price is Right game where you have to remove the correct number to go the price of the car?

Those numbers don’t exactly leave any room to interpretation, haha.

Cut pads, build dumb trips, and down performance goes.

I flew with a CA recently who, on the same weekend, got OOBGS calls to 3 different bases.

That’s digging deep.

Lots of thunder up in NYC.

I had heard last fall that they found a former Delta DC-7, but didn't realize it was actually airworthy.
