It still works. Its like putting a catalytic converter on an exhaust system. It just weeds out the undesired output.

Jackass? I thought those guys were never allowed to protect the jewels.

Gotcha.

PM sent.

LOL. Priceless.

Speaking of, I need to put in a GS for tomorrow. I'll miss the game for some good cheddar!

It's funny watching them stand around while near the other guys... all of them reflex to protect their no-no's. It's too bad about Dunn. RIP.

I remember years ago we all made bets on which one was going to kick it first... my choice was Steve-O who came pretty dang close.

With the next bid barely a month away, remember what happens when you fly an Airbus:

Just say "oui oui" to not bidding Fifi! (unless your seniority is below say, 10700)

Steve-o was the easy favorite. Those guys are going to be in a lot of pain as they age.

Glad it worked out for you. I think I was a little junior to Boomer, but my class at Comair was mostly military guys or furloughed USAir/Midway. It sure looked good on paper at the time. Comair was my sim partner's 3rd regional. A USAF guy in my class was 3 days from his check ride at AA on 9/11, but it really sucked for the 3 guys in his class that'd left SWA for AA. (Granted, AA guys were leaving for UAL at the time) He always thought AA would eventually recall him. Just passed his check ride at GoJets.

It started out great. Best contract/most growth of the regionals I'd looked at. Certainly nothing I'd read accurately captured the relationship between CMR-DAL. I was new to the airlines and it took a while to see what was really going on. On reserve a couple of months, then started flying up the seniority list. First upgrade award came in a reasonable amount of time, but then it was cancelled. As was the 2nd, and the 3rd. Hard to leave when you're a dozen numbers away from upgrade. 4th time was the charm, but I only lasted 6 months in the left seat, after airplanes bought for us were given away. Tried to actively leave the minute I downgraded (end of '08), but decided not to risk it all with another regional.

After the big announcement in Sept. 2010, I got hired by Compass within a couple of weeks. Wouldn't have made the flow through list, but thought turnover would mean upgrade in a few years. I decided it was still too risky and backed out. With the hiring stagnation, I'm glad I did. Talked to DAL at a job fair in Nov. 2010 and was encouraged to get more PIC to make me more competitive, suggested I go to Compass or ASA. I agree I need more PIC, but those ships have sailed. Never heard from JetBlue, but that was okay - I don't see much potential for upgrade there. Wasn't that into Spirit or Allegiant. Figured USAir would be like being at a regional with the potential for upgrade in under 10 years, but they called after I moved on. Ended up sending a resume on a lark to an ACMI carrier. I like the spontaneity of their flying, and I could use a break from domestic pax ops. It sure looks good on paper.
