Does JB offer a Roth 401K?

Yes on the Roth. They're matching mine. Through T. Rowe Price. Not a tremendous amount of investment options but that's par in the corporate world. Full disclosure - wife works for Fidelity so we're spoiled; the entire market is open to us. I can literally have gold bars delivered to the house or buy investment properties in her 401. When I was at FlightSafety we had 12 funds to invest in - kind of ironic given the fact it's owned by Berkshire Hathaway.

I was hoping for that movie-like scene where the Girl (FA) wanders over seductively, says, "let me get that," and ties it for me. Still waiting.

1. I don't want it to get caught in a belt loader and choke me to death. It could happen.

Yeah yeah, both are unlikely. I get that. But since I don't care which I wear, I choose the one with less risk. Looking good matters less to me than possibly getting strangled by a belt loader.

No public plans of replacing/reducing fleet count. But who knows when that will change.

Numbers being floated at the school house are 400 for 2015 and 250-350 for 2016 and 2017 each. So they say... They want 3400 on property by end of this year. Unless I misunderstood or heard wrong or they misspoke.

Things are moving along at a nice pace.

Also, there's been hundreds of...well, let's just say unmentionables...pressed inside those demo models so they're probably significantly stretched out.
The tapered shirts are still way too baggy, and I haven't even tried the regular ones.

Agreed on the issue about the tie getting caught, especially in a emergency evacuation. It is like for the ID lanyards, now most have a safety breakaway, disconnecting under pressure to eliminate choking risks.
Agreed also on the clip not being possible to just loosen up.
May be a solution would be a zipper tie, with a breakaway in the back.
The best solution is to just get rid of the tie all together.

Anyone get called for a January Interview? I haven't seen anything on here about any going on unless I missed it.
