Just started 73 school and instructor got a phone call during the review session. Upon returning from his call he said we should be hearing a big announcement today. Said it had to do with the 737 MAX in the news. You could make the leap to NAS and their problems with their MAX order and buying used 787s.

Sleep on your break and don't eat the dessert. You won't look back.

I mean if they can’t do it Friday night before a long weekend then Tuesday is good enough.

The Captain referenced in today’s email is included in the 4 I mentioned above. He passed away earlier this week.

What's the connection, 73M delayed so they're selling their 787s? Would we do a fleet of 16? I'm intrigued. I like a good rumor.

network has confirmed that they are not happy with the 350 fuel burn, it's not what airbus advertised.

Wow. It burns pretty damned close to an -ER at cruise. It's faster and heavier too.
