Ok, got one for you guys to watch out for. Both seats are guilty of this. If you see people doing this, need to stop them before they slam a plane into a cell tower or mountain.

“Descending below MSA on a visual approach at night without briefing MSA or the highest obstacle. Most people I am seeing are descending to FAF altitude 10 miles out on a base leg from the airport at night.”

Oh I’ve seen towers descend you below the FAF altitude. I brief my FO that no we won’t accept that. ESPECIALLY at night.

I know I’m talking to myself. I just checked and I don’t see any evidence that 5 ejets are in storage.

340 should be just about gone. Not much left of it.

Looking at FT Web, the only thing left is the airframe. Probably a skeleton sitting outside the MX hangar.

MQ did them all in E170 according to flight aware. I don't know if it differentiates between 170 and 175's - how many seats do your E170s have? I know we had staff and airplanes and we have no cancels on our stats today so this might have been done post schedule release but pre-flying. I just can't fathom the reasoning. Maybe I should not try.
