Heard that some of the 757's in the desert need hush kits and other annoying maintenance. Will be sent to GUM to do PacRim flying instead of 737's. Anybody else hear that?

Welcome aboard!


LOL! They'll be looking for the EICAS & wondering where the heading knob for the autopilot is.

Nice crunch, twist that dagger my friend.

It has been a fun ride... been given the keys to a new airplane and told to fly it and report back to us on how it works. Faa and instructors ask you what this or that means..... self taught plane with little interfernce other then the brazilian on the flight deck during proving runs basically telling you that what u thought you knew from the book is actually wrong. Never forget the time when we were doing a proving run with your buddy and wink wink check airman with 5 more hours in the plane... we both look at each other and say what the hell is the vnav doing now? AP off resort to manual 3 to 1 rule. Faa inspector trying to figure out what half the buttons and funny mouse pad is all about. Faa trained by the same clowns who read the same incorrect manuals as us. First flights were a complete cluster ****

Actually had a real cleatus mechanic in kjax come to the airplane for a mechanical issue and after 5 minutes say "this ain't no god **** dc-9" how does this funny mouse pad thingy work? Amazing

RJ's ASM have increased year over year. Doesn't matter what they park if the "utilization" increases, right? Isn't that what the union always tells us.

Quick question. Is there re-instatement to a category that was closed up? i.e. SLC M90? Any rights to SLCA320? Thanks,

Just a lowly FO trying to stay west of the mississippi river.

Yea we dont have many good looking ones at compass. Mostly the 3 g's!!

A while back ACL, I thought you said it looked like the plan was small classes with recalls and flows only until atleast the start of 2011. Avoiding a full ramp up of the interview process. Do you still think that is the case.

How long can the furlough bypass guys accept recall?

240 is ~ 2% of our list. It is a very small adjustment, but it seems to correlate nicely with the expiration of bypass rights. Any one else seeing this in the tea leaves?

VIKZ09-- I hope you know I'm just playn with ya. Sounds like you had some good times over at Compass. I'm sure you'll have many great ones here.

Word of wisdom... The womens hat is a smaller version of the mens. Order that one it's much better. Does not resemble a pizza box like the mens.
