I laughed my ass off when I heard them coming into dulles today.

Silverwings 123: "Uh, ramp, our marshallers just walked away, are we supposed to call ops to tell them we're here or do they come back on their own?"

Ramp: "You must be new here. Yeah, you should probably get used to that."

Yeah... silver pilots have been spoiled on that front. Luckily all the XJ/9E street captains are very used to that bs.

Speaking of which, what bases did you all get awarded? I'll be in MIA whenever it opens, hopefully by November.

IAD sucks. No, actually it blows.

I thought EWR was bad, and then I went to Dulles. Holy crap.

SJU here I come! Apparently the first flight out IAD to Morgantown was a few hours late.

Is that like the EMB-170 rumors I heard a few months ago?

I'll be in FLL still, but I asked the CP if I can go to Miami when it opens up, so I might be MIA then. Hopefully by then I'll be ready for upgrade by then, 200 hours short of the ATP mins. Not sure when they'll be running upgrades, especially since I'm taking the Saab checkride soon
