Also remember that those sims were used prior to the merger. We have a few 757 at NATCO now that we get to use

yeah, but we also some some pilots in the merger too, so I figured it was a wash.

I don't think they allow those to be swapped until the january schedules are done because legally they can modify that trip. Not sure though.
Check FYI,

They approved the swap on the first PCS run for my trip over New Years Eve.

okay pg, i'd quote but its hard on iphone, but you had me scratching my head as you can google all the ins and outs of cashing out a 401K. But as far as cashing out a current employer one I've never thought of but I'll take your word for it that you cannot... or can you if you claim a hardship?

More info and pictures on the Qantas flight that had the engine go, from a technical perspective:

The Anatomy of the Airbus A380 QF32 near disaster – Plane Talking

And when they are talking about "droop nose" - that must be Airbus speak for Leading Edge Slats.

That's just painful to look at.
My handicap would be awful if I had to play when it was 16*F.
And that's assuming you can stick a tee in the ground.

Default Retirement accounts

Now this is nothing new, but I am new so I just looked at it for the first time yesterday, and am wondering if I am interpreting this correctly. We can take a loan out from our retirement savings with a standard amoritization and pay interest, but we are paying the interest back to ourselves so we aren't really being charged anything? And it also said no tax penalties. If that is right, that's awesome. Could you then use that for part of a downpayment for a home and essentially not pay interest on that portion? Maybe I am completely misinterpreting this.
