I know they budgeted $50k/shell to bring them up to speed mx wise but we blew through the budget for the entire 14 in the first 3.. also we were told to possibly expect an announcement of more to come in 2018... that may be subject to change also... to be continued

Not sure what to think, it seems people are happy with the way things are.

Talking to those who have them, they are almost worthless. Such a low priority.

Ed B. must think... yes but of all our step children I beat you the least... thanks Ed.

More questions:
1. How much seniority do you need to have a chance to get christmas off?
2. Is vacation treated differently than simple day off requests? How does seniority work with vacation?
3. How many are you are flying with the QC20 headset uflymike combo (tso)? Anyone give people wearing these a hard time about it?
4. If I wanted to get the maximum amount of flying on reserve, are there any tricks? Do you get more flying on CNO lines?
