Both of the projected category lists (01NOV15 and 31JAN16) were published on 15MAY15. One was revised from March and the other was just published given the just finished AE. The seniority number used on both documents is a 15MAY15 seniority number.

The projected category for September 2015 was run on Aug 31 and the number run is a 31AUG15 seniority number. So in September's category list does indeed show you more senior than the projected NOV15 and JAN16 number, but, that's because the projections were made in May.

Put it this way, pilot #10,000 on May 2015 is pilot 9933 on Sep category list, up 67 real numbers since May15. If that pilot looks at the Nov15 or Jan16 projection right now they can see where they'll move up in their category, but the seniority number used is May 2015's 10,000 number not their current number. They're not moving backwards, it's just they're looking at a May 2015 document.

Your seniority number already takes into account everyone who is NBCSIC/NBCMIL etc.

 

Someone is worried about 39 numbers on a seniority list of over 10,000? Really?

 

A number is a number. I'd be howling, too...


FTB's explanation is correct.

 

MEC returns.

 

Holy Moley! FTB actually knows what he's talking about! After all the "fun" stuff there really is a V-10 under the hood!

Who'd of known!

 

Pffffffft. V10? V10s are for those who need two extra cylinders to make up for their inadequacies.

I prefer, the V8. 8.19L. Sort of like the 426 Hemi. 2 valves per cylinder. Aluminum billets. No water jackets please, I'll be done before I need a water jacket! Supercharger, but I'm fine with the basic Roots type with ballistic blankets. Single camshaft. Steel crankshafts. Titanium intake valves. 1:1 on fuel to air ratio with a 7:1 compression ratio.

60 gallons to the mile is fine by me, but I want 85–90% nitromethane with 10–15% methanol.

That should about do it. I'm no V10. I'm an 8,000 HP, supercharged, nitromethane-fueled motor...



AND when I get going, and when my grammar and proofreading kicks in to high gear, and I hit that send button without checking the autocorrect function... pure... magic...



Wait.


Screw that. V-6 is fine. Ecoboost? What is that anyways? Just give me a straight V-6.


and thank you wikipedia for all of your help understanding how a funny car engine is made. I still don't understand what I just said and that may be evident to you car guys, but, because. The end.
