Two pages of type ratings?? That's awesome. My state had zero unless the training center was in state, which there are none... Would you mind me asking you which state you reside? We all might want to move there...:(

In Unity,

The office I am going through told me that the state i draw unemployment from would be the state funding the WIA, which for me is California. The funds are drying up though and fast :(, so if you are thinking about it I would act now.

The 70 hostages were all brought back on line in Sep (those that chose to return). What happened Friday is a negotiated industry standard furlough in reverse seniority. Still sucks, as I have been one of the chosen few both times, but at least this time there is some negotiated pay (thru Dec) and medical (thru Jan) along with recall rights (7 yrs). It was bad enough during the summer trying to find work so none of us are looking forward to the current climate. I do believe that if Options survives the economic struggles we will have a worthwhile UNION negotiated contract in place. In the meantime, I'm not holding my breath for a quick economic / business turnaround.

FL = Flight OPS = Options, thus Flight Options as in flightoptions.com

In their dreams. That's like saying AF2 (Arena Football) is in competition with the NFL.

And I don't work for Net Jets.

I just saw them both under the fractional column on APC so I figured they were competitors. No offense intended...do all ExecJet aircraft have tails that end in NXXXQS??? Saw a small Cessna jet of some type in JFK today but he apparently had a call sign not a tail number?

Fractional "callsigns"


NetJets= "Execjet"
CitationShares= "Five Star"
Flex Jet= "Flex Jet"
