Black smoke is usually the engine running too rich and all the gas isn't being burned.

Oil leak into the radiator and coolant leaks into engine may be related. If a flaw happens between the oil and water chambers then oil will be forced into the water system when the engine is running and the oil pressure is high.

The Pope is from Alaska. I think he can see Russia from his back deck, so international relations should be good. Too many Greeks are going to Hawaii and its driving down yields.

"yeah, either that, or something else."

I don't know if you heard Bar. The company has looked at the various 100 seaters including the EMB and they're just no good. No place for them at mainline. On the other hand at the "regionals"......

The reason that there are no leaks is probably that the TA comes with fairly significant corporate transactions...the kinds of transactions that carry hefty SEC and/or legal consequences (IE REAL legal trouble) for someone who spills the beans.

If it was just a few percent in pay plus some work rule changes, it would have been leaked that night.

I can't believe none of you are discussing the relative merits of our new "onboard peanut policy." I bet Alaska still has peanuts.

just saying. if the mec was burning 90% nitromethane and 10% methanol, we'd never know the building was burning down.

Something like that would require a relationship of constructive engagement between us and management.

Oh wait...

Can't seem to log onto the live contract.

Anyone know when a reserve is released on their last day of reserve? I know long call you're now released at 1200.

Is short call the same?

Thanks.

No. If you are on SC before a * or ALPA day, it is noon, but otherwise its the release time indicated on the SC.
