Congrats there my friend! Just got to the crash pad tonight and its full of guys here on reserve. There should be more coming here soon with the Feb class so I guess there is hope for some arrow-less days ahead!

I am SO happy I got out of that cesspool crash pad.

FAT went from 42 to 35 lines on the RJ...11 reserves in April? Looks like I'll be spending a lot of time sitting around. At least the line holders won't have any problems dropping trips this month, in March there's only one day without a red arrow, no one could drop anything...

A friend of mine is a FAT based EMB CA. I was looking at his PBS page when I saw that targeted lines are UP from 60 in March to 66 for April.

How can anybody with an Angels And Airwaves CD cover in their avatar be taken seriously?

Finally, the Skywest gang is feeling a downside to this industry. You won't always feel like you did on your first flight on the CRJ with 400 hours. But this is good since it'll make for better conversation when you get on with United and fly the heavy metal.

Seriously though, arrogance is always bliss.

You should see what they are saying on they little "Skywest Going to Buy Everyone Else" Thread. One guy was saying our ALPA merger protection in our contract would easily be sidestepped. Funny how a non-union guy is saying he knows how to get around our ALPA protections.
