Do you have a source about Jeppsen discontinuing paper? I agree, however I really don't care. I just want better pay and no 4 days, they can keep the rest.

Sorry bro. Some of us like the 4 days. Heck I'll be glad to fly 5 days if it had enough credits.

-EFB's are still a descent way out, not coming "soon". Anyone saying otherwise is kidding themselves and falling victim to GO folks having fun getting our hopes up.

-Delta side will be shrinking some more over a timeline through and including 2015 but attrition will more than take care of this (this is in addition to what we already know about publicly in relation to the less than 10 total aircraft inc has to get rid of between the Delta 70+ seater exchanges and aircraft going to fly AMR flying, and yes, it is less than a total of 10 TOTAL NET aircraft spread between Inc. still to be determined exactly which carrier they will come from).

-Even though Republic got the AMR flying there are still 2 large bids out there. United and US Air both have one. We are "close" to getting one of these bids, but remember we were also "close" to getting what Republic just got.

Enjoy the rumors created by the MX and Training dept. that is all they are, rumors. They do it just to mess with us and have fun.

I hear you. They also need to take account of the preference of each base. Day lines in DTW only make few people happy.

Eh. I see what you're sayin', but I'm on the 200 and still want them. It's the only way to make any money on that beastly monster of a jet.

I hear ya. I did those 28hr 200 trips last summer and all I can say is never again.

ATL-MTY-DTW for 6:37 block/9 hr duty and head to the hotel feeling fresh. ATL-AGS-ATL-DHN-ATL-CSG-ATL-MGM for 6:55 block/12:30 duty and head to the hotel one sweaty and exhausted mess.

The thought of another summer on the fitty was my prime motion for joining the parade of FOs to the 700/900, especially with Critical Mass Volume II well on the way
