Until then, you'll continue being a test pilot to and from HOT, because let's face it, mgmt pilots don't wanna do that!!

This ^. We are taking delivery of the 900s but can not operate all of them till the 717s start showing up. Expect another vacancy around December to have the rest and more 900 captain spots. We are short on the 200 and they don't need an extra 100 captains on the 900 to fly planes we can't operate yet. That is straight from the outhouse behind delta in msp.

If so, it might be short lived.

so I figured it was 91. So I guess only new-hires and fence crossers get the mountain qual?
Oh well, not that it's fun to fly with the fleet manager anyway.

They need to know this is not the time to lower the bar in this industry. We are not interns.
