It's more of a smirk than smile if you ask me.

More of a "FU, I know Newk" smirk.

Isn't that some of our 73N guys on reserve, hanging out on the beach, waiting for the call to head to exotic destinations... like... Livonia. Where the 7ER guys on reserve look like this:

ia, let's just face it, the 737 guys get all of the love.

But it could always be worse, right?

77 air force cadets sent to hospital after lightning strike - CBS News

You know a year or so ago my father-in-law was making a run from his car to their house when a nearby tree got struck and the electricity traveled across the wet ground to him. The electrical shock cost $3500 in dental work.

Just got in from wandering around in downtown CHS on a layover. THis is a really nice area! And the eye candy is 100% APC worthy... holy crap what a nice concentration of good looking girls.

If only I could stop them from following me around and hitting on me...

Spent my first 5 years in the USAF there with an apartment SOB (south of Broad). Phenomenal experience!

I can see some 73N time leaving and possibly some 88 time.

Send it west. I'm spending way too much time on the beach....

Supposedly the cost analysis of anticipated training for an ATL 330 base showed

I am guessing that did not include the reduced costs because of all the DV8 on the front end for a lot of those trips.

***END RUMOR CONTROL***

FWIW, same thing heard in office this am. Apparently the excessive $$$$ over budget for training/ioe/toe in the last AE drove the decision.. More DHing ahead.

Can the agent even wave the fee? Plus, isn't the contract a max of 3 checked bags when booked in coach?

Active duty U.S. military personnel traveling on orders to or from duty stations, and active U.S. military dependents traveling on relocation orders, are allowed up to four checked bags in Delta's Economy Class and Delta Connection® carriers (regardless of cabin), and up to five checked bags in First and Business Class on Delta aircraft only, at no charge. Each bag may weigh up to 70 lbs. (32 kg) and measure up to 80 linear inches (203 cm).

Additionally, military personnel traveling on personal business will be allowed two checked bags up to 50 lbs (23 kg) and 62 linear inches (158 cm) at no charge.

YouTube video did not work, but the policy has been this for at least the last month from the last time I looked at it. And I'm sure the travel orders would cover the rest!

Yall know the rules, the player whose bid is closest to the actual retail price of the prize, or the number who will take the early out, without going over wins the prize and plays the next pricing game... guessing how many pilots retire in the next 5 years.

Early out . . . 73.
