Bring on the barrage of entitlement insults.

Depends on the aircraft (and probably schedules for a certain month?):
June’13:
737 and MD88/90 sign ins and releases in JFK and LGA.
320 – all 3, but very little EWR.
7ER – mostly JFK and some EWR.
767-400 – all JFK.
Hope this helps.
PS. Razorback – great intel, thank you!

I'm pretty surprised we've not seen more interest in this matter. Probably interest will peak when hiring starts. By then, it will be too late to do anything.

ALPA is currently pushing to allow FO's to keep doing what they do (walk arounds in the rain, taking the fat one, etc) with a 2nd class medical, but ALPA is not pushing to allow Captain's to fly with 2nd class medicals. Is that discriminatory?
