...gulp...

Oh, and Ronnie James Dio died. The rocks gods are not happy. That's your morning news update. ;)

They had his picture and his name. I don't know him. Looks like a 98 hire.

Yeah, why don't you look at UAL's and UsAir's and then come talk to us.:rolleyes:

And CAL's scope isn't doing them that much good, as they're seeing 737 routes replaced with Q400's. DAL's scope prevent's large T-Props in addition to limiting large RJ's. CAL's scope just says any JET over 50 seats will be flown by CAL pilots.

True it could be worse for them, but the lack of T-Prop restrictions has certainly hurt them too.

With two hours to go before the bid closes, there's nothing left to do now but start my "Please Lord, don't let me get displaced" Dance for Good Luck.....I grant you it's not pretty, but it's worked the last couple of bids.

United Flight Makes Emergency Landing in D.C. After Fire in Cockpit

Associated Press

A United Airlines flight from New York made an emergency landing on Sunday at Dulles Airport after a fire broke out in the jet's cockpit.

CHANTILLY, Va. -- A United Airlines flight from New York made an emergency landing outside Washington after a fire broke out in the plane's cockpit, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration said.

The fire aboard the Boeing 757 was extinguished before the plane landed Sunday night and no injuries were reported, FAA spokeswoman Holly Baker said.

United Airlines spokesman Mike Trevino said the plane took off from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport bound for Los Angeles and was diverted to Dulles International Airport, where it landed at 9:36 p.m. All 105 passengers and seven crew members got off safely, Trevino said. He did not have any other details.

Baker said the FAA was investigating the incident but to her knowledge, there was no criminal activity involved.

Passenger Phil Lobel, who has a public relations business in Los Angeles, told The Associated Press that about 30 minutes into the flight he detected an electrical burning smell.

He said flight attendants began going over emergency instructions with passengers in the exit rows and someone brought up a fire extinguisher from the back of the plane to the cockpit.

Lobel said the plane landed within about 20 minutes, and a half-dozen or more emergency vehicles met the aircraft in Virginia.

Afterward, Lobel said passengers who had seats in the front of the plane showed him photographs they took of flames in the cockpit. Some of the passengers on the flight were celebrities, he said.

About an hour after the plane landed, Lobel received an e-mail from United apologizing for the "experience" he had on the flight.

if that doesnt show the importance of scope, i dont know what does....:eek:

I really hope your dance works for you, but let's watch these two dance instead!!!

The A319 is 13 feet longer than the E175. I don't think these are to scale.
