Maybe they will close ric and open ORD or IAD

But that might make too many people happy

I had heard the only reason the have ric is cause of the cheap hanger space for MX

there has to be other cheap places to have hangers

I doubt RIC is going away for just that reason...cheap space is hard to find! And I seem to remember not being able to offer our FFOD pax any coffee because Hulas decided he wouldn't pay the coffee bills for 6 months...

ORD would make too much sense. Will never happen though, the pilots want it. We all know Hulas will NEVER do anything to make our jobs easier.

ORD happened to a certain other certificate (GoJet) because the TSA guys wanted it...

i stayed in ric cuz the lines were better in the past, and i bid really high. I'm going to upgrade to captain, use the Hulas scholarship which is 30 days in the Hilton and 24 hour non-taxable per diem, then head back out to stl

And many people commute from ORD to stl or ric, and we'd like to get some sort of parking pass like all other airline carriers give their employees. US Air will actually let us park in their lot. ALL WE NEED is a SIDA badge, which now Go Jet pilots get, but our airline won't give them to us because Go Jet is a different carrier :bowdown:

I keep hearing stories like that from all over.. I was always really skeptical of the "Hi guys, I'm jumpseating, just looking for a ride to XYZ.. I work for 'Trans States Holdings' and proceed to show their GoJet badge," until it actually happened to a friend of mine and he called the guy out on it.. haha.. what a great story that was..
