Yes and No. It's a mix as some mid seniority FAs live in Jersey and PA.

and remember 1 tfp = 1.13 hrs. so 6.5 tfp per day is actually a 7.345 min day.

Sadly, I think you got that backwards and believe me I would be the first guy to wish you had not. 1 hour = 1.13 tfp. 1 tfp = 52 minutes.:(

N9373M, do you still live in Beaufort? I'm down that way 3-4 times a year.
Prince of Tides was the Streisand film...my little sister is an extra on one of the beach scenes, and your Gump film was filmed there also (Actually Hunting and Fripp Islands)

PM'd boring details of my life. Santini was filmed when I was in High Skool - a lot of my classmates and my HS were in that film as well as a great deal of KNBC. Gotta love the F4 "sound of freedom".

Unfortunately we are currently reducing capacity somewhere around 4% YOY.

Alaska otoh is adding jets, growing the fleet nearly 20% in the next 4 years, increasing capacity 8% YOY. That growth includes parked 737-400s.

At Delta we have been adding MD90, but we've been parking DC-9s. The MD90 can carry a heck of a lot more pax then even the biggest 9. With reduced capacity that means fewer pilots required, pilot neutral for modest capacity growth...

As announced, our big 737-900 order is also net zero for the fleet count.

Some say, we might not park all of the 757, or that the mythical 717 will be added to the fleet. All we know is that those are rumors and the fact the Delta carrier adding jets and pilots is called the Eskimo.

Cheers

And Alaska was furloughing while we were hiring. It's all cyclical. I don't think Alaska is going to come to LGA to do East Coast flying. Almost everyone of your posts has this tone. I can only guess you're hoping to pound into everyone's head how the Alaska codeshare effects us, because the only thing any of us can do about it is convey our dissatisfaction through our Reps & contract survey.

"School" may be a stretch - she taught him how to read, and he taught her how to dangle.

Filmed in several locations, parts in Beaufort.

I was living in Beaufort, SC when they filmed "Forrest Gump," and "Prince of Tides." While the filmies can be a PITA, (I gotta put up with them now in ILM,) they do pump a lot of money into the local economy.

In the closing scene in "PoT," where they do the aerial pan of the bridge from Port Royal over to Frogmore, you can just see the roof of my house by the foot of the bridge.
