Where you dont care what trip you get, you just want a certain length of trip. Domestic can end up with something reaaaallllly bad, but in my category, its all 25-32 hours for a 3 or 4 day commutable trip.

I thought you could only wild card a swap not a WS.

For a WS just put a qualifier in for a three day over a range of days.

I remember the mgmt types saying "oh this is going to be mostly mainline flying increases." Well... and here we are with 4 hour flights between two of the largest cities in the US in an RJ.

Scope. scope. scope.

True 80, but also remember that this is phase one.

Top Gun did have its faults but it was a pretty good movie. For some reason the Navy draws some pretty good movies: An Officer and a Gentleman, No Way Out, The Hunt for red October, The Caine Mutiny etc. OK, Ok I admit we did have "Navy Seals" with Charlie Sheen, but they can't all be good.

The Air Force had tons of good movies, but most seem to be pre-1947 (Army Air Corps) but its been a lean few decades for the AF. The whole "Iron Eagle" franchise kind of killed the genre.

My favorite part of Broken Arrow was were they beat the crap out of each other while boxing a few hours prior to a mission. I guess a technical advisor was deemed unnecessary.
