I just started class at xjet for the CRJ, I'm currently in ATL attending indoc and sims, we bid for our bases 2 days ago, is there any way I can find out what bases are open so I know what base I may be getting? We will get our base awards some time next week. I'm just anxious to see if I'll get my number 1 choice.

The luxury the book has, that the movies do not, is time. There is a LOT of character intro and build-up in the book that the films do not have the time to do. So, if you have read the book (as mentioned.... Preferably more than once) you will be able to follow it and enjoy it. If not, you'll find yourself often asking who the heck someone is, and what the heck they are talking about.
D'Aconia's money speech, for instance, is a major speech in the novel that gets about 45 seconds of screen time in the second movie.
All in all tho, if you enjoyed the book, it's worth your time to watch...
Now back to our regularly scheduled "concessions? Ummmmm, NO!!!!!" Thread...

Management's intent is clear. They leaked it when they said the pilot group is too senior.
