Poor FTB, so many areas to miss.

What is with the ACP on the outer wall? :eek: :D

ACP on the outer wall... this is a trick question, right?

HA HA! I didn't even notice!!

I'm going to ask my wife now if she is proud... she's sitting right next to me, I'm on vacation, we're watching non-tivo tv, let me slowly slowly glance over to see what she thinks... if I don't post again tonight, keep the dream alive!

Did anyone just see the commercial clip for 30 Rock tonight? I'm watching commercials. Seriously, Alec Baldwin's character says he booked Captain Sully for a show and Matt Damon's character, a pilot, goes "you know what I would've done, I wouldn't have hit the birds, and so where's my ticket to the Grammys?"

Funny. A total NewK response.

Percentage in category is calculated based off the forecasted staffing report. The Forecasted Staffing 22D3, used for the May bid shows 83. 58 out of 83 would put you at 69.9.

With unfilled vacancies, your actual percentage vs. forecast percentage will be higher.

Sorry the spiral staircase was on the classic 747. 744 has a straight staircase.


Didn't know that... I guess I'll take it off my wish list. Not really. Anyway, apologies all around for that last post; flagrant foul for posting while "medicated."

Your wife lets you post on APC while you're watching non-tivo tv? You must be a newlywed. Can I live vicariously through you?:D

"Uh, sorry about that, here hold on... okay try it again."

"******, sorry man, one more time."

"Huh? Oh yeah. Who'd thought that was possible? Okay, should we just run the checklist again?"

:D


Hey ftb,

I managed to stay on the -9. But, some part of me feels like I am already flying the -88 though. I'm just a little hotter in the summer, wetter in the winter (from the de-icing fluid), and my back is a little more sore at the end of the day from the 40 year old seats.

But, man. When I'm 75 years old, teaching ground school to the young pups(since I can't afford to retire because my pension was frozen back in the dark ages of aviation), they sure will look at me in awe and respect me because I flew the DC-9.

Who am I kidding? By that time, all training will be done at home and I will have to work at WalmartDonalds as a greeter/fry specalist. :o

New, well, you're missing out on saying "you're doing great FTB, you've been hand flying since 2500', youre on track, on glide, on speed, well passed the marker and the gear is still up and your only 1.5 miles behind that Dash 8 now... I'm impressed."

I've never seen 30 Rock, but Matt Damon is on and he's a pilot, as previously
mentioned, but I learned about Sky Law. Where the Captain turns on the fasten seat belt on and nobody is allowed to talk for 10 minutes.

2500'? You mean FL 250, right? :D
