In all honesty, I loved flying it. I hope to upgrade at AA in it one day (well, I suppose it won't be the -88, but -83 or whatever they fly). Actually, I really hope Delta would call, but I'm trying to be realistic!

Now, if you're talking about the 717, then I agree. Very nice jet!

Edit: Looks like Leine beat me to it.

Ive tried to project out the numbers for the next few classes, based on badgerned's spreadsheet. It appears he had 63 poolies still awaiting class after the 6/2 class was filled. There was no 3/18 and 3/19 hiring info so I used conservatively the estimate that all 16 were hired on both days, then I added the 19 CJO's from last week to get 98 in the pool. Based on that, the pool runs dry in July! I find this hard to believe. How many poolies am I missing?
