Like I said it was kind of a joke to try and get some crap started. I found a topic and my mind just ran with it and then it came off serious. Plus I wanted to post my extreme runway knowledge. Hehe (joke people) I don't have a problem with CLT captains, just a few are hard set in their ways and I was bored and decided to point that out. Stress is really not my forte though. Quite the opposite.

This is the text I just received, could'nt remember all of the conversation last night. IAH to YYZ YEG YYC DEN LAX. Then IAH connect through smaller city then to either IAD or ORD. Mexican destinations out of IAH will be added once additional aircraft orders arrive. Proving runs IAH to ORD (different source)

Go get a godd*mn TV from the front desk and take a break from posting skillet. Stay "Sane" my MAGmen.
This job can be very boring and monotonous. Basically doing the same thing over and over again. It's not hard to think of all that crap when your doing it on a daily basis. When I look at what I wrote yesterday I kind of cringe myself. I guess I was trying to insult via humility about the "greasers" to get a point across but definitely came across pompous and narcissistic. I have flown with only outbound leg captains for the last several months. I was bored and said something about it. Throw a dog a bone, let me do something different. And I will answer your next response for you Prior. Yes, I need to move on and do something different. The lack of brain stimulation sometimes with this job at FO pay can be frustrating. But, there are worse jobs and I'm thankful to have one. So Bluer, go get that other thumbtack and stick into your other eye. Nothing like physical pain via blog to a overly dramatic guy.

Gotten a few PM's from Clt captains. I'm not flaming on all Clt captains. What I'm talking about is definitely the minority and not the majority. The stars have just aligned to where I am flying with the minority recently.

4 More 900s for UsAir just announced via company email. So, at the bare minimum, 34 airplanes total on the way, that are official.

Unofficially of course, 30 more EJETS after the first 30. 6 more 900s on top of these 4. Take it for what it's worth, but I was right about the 175s 10 months ago and I was right about the 900s this fall.

Only time will tell.

CLT CA's are the WORST with that stuff.

ORD/IAD UAX flying I never even touch the FMS. They knock that stuff out.

Well considering that United only ordered 30 E175 and is leasing these to Mesa without any additional options, are you saying that Mesa will order their own 30 additional or are they hoping that United will order them 30 more? And what makes you think you guys can staff all these airplanes??? It's not going to happen.
