What's everyone focusing on for ground school? Systems? GOM? SOP? Memory items and limitations are a must, I know.

Yeah, I've dug into the systems manual and started memorizing limitations...

I dunno who told him, but I can tell you you're getting a 10 lb. box in the mail which includes these fabulous prizes(!): SOP, GOM, QRH, and Systems manual

Prepare your grey matter for a thorough grinding.

Yes, only one slightly. Same amount as before. Well, I counted 27 on my old sheet and in the new SOP... so, maybe one of us miscounted

I haven't had the time to pick it up just yet. It seems like nobody else got a certified letter? Now I'm very curious to see what's in the letter.

Well, just to fill some people in on some info I got today, it sounds like 39 out of 131 people accepted the voluntary and the mandatory recalls have started being sent out. They are just sending out a few (didn't get a specific number) and when those come back, they will send out more until they get everybody back that they need. It'll be interesting to see how many take the mandatory. I am still hopeful that it will take a little while for me to get mine and I'll have a better idea of the upgrade picture at my current gig. As it stands right now, I'm about 15 people away from upgrade so depending on attrition, I could be in the left seat in a few months. Hmmmmm....

Other things to consider are QOL, pay, where you're gonna be based, etc.

Also, remember the NMB might make it's decision on the direction of our negotiations just as we get back, so there's no telling how that's going to end up.

Food for thought.
