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.

LGA-ROC 4x CR7 (OH)
LGA-BUF 6x CR9 (OH)
LGA-SYR 5x (4x ERJ, 1x CR7)
LGA-RIC 5x (4x ERJ, 1x CRJ)
LGA-MHT 2x ERJ
LGA-SDF 1x ERJ
LGA-GSO 3x ERJ
LGA-ORF 4x ERJ
LGA-DAY 2x ERJ

41 of 45 being RJs! Go scope!

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.

It's about time that we end the seamless travel and make people know that we outsourced their flight to the lowest possible bidder that could be found.

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.

Actually I heard the Navy did not endorse an officer and a gentleman but did endorse TopGun. But in contrast to KC-10 Fatboy the Airforce movies especially Iron Eagle was totally moronic unlike TopGun which actually has some realism to it as well as officer and a gentleman even though the Navy didn't endorse it.
