I wonder how a B-scale would be worse?

It actually is worse! You are on a C scale.

Thanks, I knew if it was right inside boob, we were missing the other boob.

But the lower part of the photo looked more like hip curve then belly, ruling out left boob.

Not that it matters, I'm sure she has a great personality.

I remember specifically the MD-88 F/O 2nd year B-scale rate when I was hired in 1998. It was $65/hour. Adjusted for inflation from 1998 to 2011, that would be $88.23/hour. Current contract 2nd year MD-88 F/O rate? $78.14 (For those of you in Rio Linda/Herndon, that's buying power worse than B-scale.)

What is going to be a pain in the arse is jumpseating. I flew home on SWA from SLC to PHX last week and thought I was going to die, and that was only an hour something. The other guy took pity on my tallness and let me have the seat in front of the cockpit door even though he was first to sign up. I'm tempering my Skywest comments for awhile

TWA first started receiving the 757's in 1996.

Yes, it looks as if the TWA birds that came to DAL were made between 1996 and 2000.

Only the September '85-'87 hires got to spend the full 5 years on B-scale. We did introduce a 737 C-scale to compete with the wage rates at SWA in POS96, but that was for a fleet of 54 aircraft based in MCO.
