Wonder how many ate saying "well, I've been wanting to move back..."
Although you've lost your mind to say that. That said, AMR flirts with chapter 11 and we come in strutting our best stuff? Plus adding 744s!

The point should be the 88 takes back RJ flying and gives up te 737 and 757 replacement flying it was doing.

The news releases of "new" routes (to be flown by 70 seat RJ's) have gotten pretty old.

Sounds about right. CQ bidding was not too bad. I got a late period in the week I wanted. I am not sure if I guessed correctly or just got lucky.
As for that CD, well I think I will get to it some time next month, after I take care of looking for a business to buy, pass a check ride, and go on vacation!

My wife and I are expecting a baby and I had to APD a 5 day trip starting tomorrow, because I wanted to make sure that I'm home for the birth. However, I was wondering if I'm allowed to WS day trips in base since I APD the 5 day? Thanks!
