Man don't get me going on that. I went to the last 2 schools I worked for thinking that a guy with CRJ time, plus a bunch of other things would be a shoe-in...nah. They haven't hired a CFI in over year. Like I said, I don't expect a thing, but it was surprising to hear from them after all that time.

On Auto....check your PM

.........if you waited almost 6 years to upgrade only to be downgraded 4 1/2 months later.

If, for your 17th anniversary with the company, you are given three options:
- Pick up a pager, you're back on reserve
- Move back to the right seat
- Be displaced to JFK

That's funny you should say 17 years because I have a friend that has been here just over 16 years and is back on reserve as a 70 captain next month. How sick is this really!!! As far as regional's go these dates are unprecedented. And even in the majors these dates are higher than most!! And yay, It's my 100th post!

And by the way Evil, I feel hurt considering I'm the guy who gave you all the Comair tail numbers!!!

Av8rKing, that wasn't about you. Some dooshh posted a large amount of links to "other sites". It was his/her first posting and they were very suspicious in nature. I made that comment, then one of the mods deleted that posting. Not about you at all.

That's what they all say. I was on a date once, she turned out to be shrek himself. I excused myself to make a phone call. Told my room mate to call me in 5 to get me away from the ogar. She heard my call somehow. I tried to make something clever up but I just left after three failed excuses.

They finally fixed travelnet, so it shows the employee's carrier code on the standby list!
